Broad incumbents

• KPMG AG Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft: Big Four firm with full German coverage. Competes with Nexia for larger Mittelstand and listed-company mandates (audit, tax, advisory, transactions) but operates at broader scale and a wider service portfolio.
• Deloitte Germany: Big Four firm with full-spectrum audit, tax, legal, and advisory in Germany. Competes with Nexia for upper-mid-market and large Mittelstand clients but with far broader capabilities and global scale.

• Grant Thornton AG: German member of Grant Thornton International, similarly focused on mid-market audit, tax, and advisory. Comparable service mix and Mittelstand positioning, making it a head-to-head competitor in many of Nexia's target segments.
• Mazars Germany: German presence of Mazars, a global mid-market audit and advisory network. Overlaps directly with Nexia on multi-discipline professional services, Mittelstand positioning, and integrated international referrals.
