Our national and international network
National network
HLB demonstrates proximity to clients – throughout Germany
The globalization of the economy, but also spectacular corporate crises in the past, have increasingly changed the market and framework conditions for tax consultants and auditors. As early as 1972, independent tax consulting and auditing firms in Germany joined forces under the umbrella of HLB Deutschland GmbH to form a national organization in order to meet the growing demands of their clients in terms of supra-regional and international expertise. The member firms work closely together on joint projects and with uniform, newly defined quality standards.
The German HLB Group is characterized by the strong personal commitment of the partners and employees in the legally independent affiliated companies, a sound understanding of the needs of medium-sized companies in particular, professionalism, expertise and global connections.
In Germany alone, our network currently consists of 21 independent auditing and tax consulting firms at 35 locations with over 1,800 employees. This makes the network one of the top 3 national networks of auditors and tax consultants. The special feature and strength of the German HLB Group lies in the intensive cooperation between the member firms.
