Practice

André has been part of our firm since January 2019. The focus of his work is providing comprehensive tax advice to national and international private equity funds. He also has extensive knowledge in the standardization, automation and digitalization of tax compliance processes, as well as in setting up tax compliance management systems. His clients benefit from his many years of experience as a tax consultant in the field of tax financial services in Munich and London, as well as managing director/ CFO-funds at a German fund of funds manager. He understands extremely well how to execute work for the client and from the client’s perspective. The product, the process and the benefit are the claim and at the same time the benchmark of his daily work. In his leisure time, André finds equilibrium with his family, while running and on travels with the family van.
