COMAVA

What COMAVA does

COMAVA GmbH is a Berlin-headquartered, privately held consulting firm founded in 2011 by Tino Schulz (originally as xax managing data & information GmbH) and rebranded to COMAVA (COrporate MAnagement VAlue) in 2025. The firm is led by Managing Directors Tino Schulz and Marcus Pitack, supported by a team of over 50 experts across six practice areas — Financial Performance Management / Consolidation, Business Intelligence & ESG, Digital Finance / ERP / ECM, IT Infrastructure & Cloud Migration, and Cyber-Security — operating from offices in Berlin and Herrenberg near Stuttgart. The company targets the full CFO agenda for both German Mittelstand and publicly listed corporations (börsennotierte Konzerne), spanning Finance, Controlling, ESG, Accounting, data foundations, and IT infrastructure.

COMAVA operates as a technology-independent ('herstellerunabhängig') advisor and systems integrator rather than a software vendor. Core delivery centers on data-based corporate management — consolidation, group financial statements, cash and liquidity management, predictive planning, integrated business planning, disclosure management (ESEF/XBRL), ESG/sustainability reporting (CSRD/ESRS, double materiality, climate risk, EU Taxonomy, LkSG/CSDDD), and AI-assisted BI. The firm implements and optimizes platforms from partners including LucaNet (flagship, long-standing), Microsoft Azure / MS Fabric / M365, Power BI, Planful, Datavault Builder, mms solutions, and SWOT, while also delivering cloud migration, NIS-2 cyber-security compliance, and ECM/DMS / e-invoicing (ZUGFeRD, XRechnung) projects.

Revenue is generated through day-rate professional services (consultants and technical developers), recurring maintenance and support contracts (12-month minimum), software license resale (perpetual and rental/SaaS), and custom application development, with annual inflation-linked price escalation (minimum 3% per consumer price index). Customer acquisition follows a structured sales-led funnel — short phone pre-alignment, free 30-minute Check-in Call via MS Teams, then individualized next steps — supported by LinkedIn thought leadership, the COMAVA Champions case-study program, and the COMAVA beyond event series. The firm reports over 200 successful clients since 2011, including Deufol SE (nearly decade-long engagement), Carestone Group, CYBEX, Eckert & Ziegler, Gewobag, HENN, and HOMANN HOLZWERKSTOFFE across healthcare, manufacturing, real estate, infrastructure, and non-profit segments.
