How I work.
First meeting
No pitch, no sales call. You tell me where you stand - and I tell you honestly whether and how I can help.
Confidential & personalStocktake
Articles of association, shareholdings, existing arrangements. I look at what is in place - and what is missing.
Structured & confidentialStructuring
Holding, Familienstiftung (German family foundation) or succession arrangement - which structure fits your situation? Concrete scenarios with numbers, no theory.
Concrete over theoreticalOngoing support

Personal & long-termSelected mandates.
Anonymised, but real. Every mandate is individual, but these examples show the orders of magnitude and structures I work with under German tax law.
Case studies are presented in German because the underlying Mandate, statutes (BGB, ErbStG, EStG, KStG) and tax structures are German-law specific.
All details anonymised. Specifics on request in a personal meeting. Similar situation? Get in touch.

Florian Enders
At one of the large auditing firms I learned how to build structures that hold. I also learned there what I want to do differently today: less overhead, more personal accountability, a direct line to the client.
At the centre of my work is tax law and the question of how to structure wealth so that it functions over the long term. Holding structures, business succession, asset transfers inside the family. Topics where tax decisions often play out across generations.
My work is shaped by an analytical eye for structures and risks. As a Certified Fraud Examiner I also look at economic interdependencies and potential weak spots in complex asset structures.
Stronger as a team.
Big deals need more than a Steuerberater (German Tax Advisor). I assemble the right team for each mandate.

Frequently asked.
Answers to the most important questions about working together.
How much does a first conversation cost?
The first conversation is free and without obligation. In around 30 minutes we go through your situation and clarify whether working together makes sense.
From what level of wealth does structuring advice pay off?
Active tax structuring usually pays off from a business or private wealth of roughly 500,000 EUR upwards. For succession topics there is no lower threshold, since early planning always brings benefits.
Do you also handle ongoing bookkeeping and payroll?
My focus is on structuring advice, not on declarations. For ongoing bookkeeping and payroll I cooperate with specialised colleagues whom I recommend when needed.
How is your advisory different from a classic Steuerberater?
I work as a sparring partner, not as a pure bookkeeper. The focus is strategic tax planning: Holding structures, asset transfers, German inheritance tax (Erbschaftsteuer) and gift tax (Schenkungsteuer). The advisory is proactive and forward-looking.
Do you also advise internationally?
Yes. Thanks to my studies in Germany, Switzerland and the United States and my three working languages (German, English, French), I also handle cross-border matters and international structures.
What is the difference between asset protection and wealth building?
Wealth building supports the structuring of investments and shareholdings. Asset protection (Vermögensschutz) shields existing wealth through Holding structures, Familienstiftungen (German family foundations) and tax-optimised arrangements against unnecessary access.
I already have a Steuerberater. Why should I still get in touch?
Many of my clients have a Steuerberater for their ongoing bookkeeping. My focus is on strategic structuring: succession, Holding structures, Vermögensschutz (asset protection). These are topics classic tax advisors often don’t cover. I complement, I don’t replace.
How quickly can I get an appointment?
Usually within five working days. For urgent matters such as running deadlines or an inheritance that has just occurred, also more quickly.
When does a Familienstiftung make sense?
A Familienstiftung (German family foundation) typically becomes interesting from a wealth of three to four million Euros upwards. Below that, the running costs often outweigh the tax and structural benefit. Whether a foundation makes sense in your case is something we clarify in the first conversation.
How much does the ongoing advisory cost?
Fees follow the Steuerberatervergütungsgesetz (StBVV, German fee regulation for tax advisors) and the scope of the mandate. For complex structuring advisory I work with transparent flat fees or hourly rates. The first conversation is always free.
What is the difference between a Familienstiftung and a Holding?
A Holding is a participation company that bundles operating entities and offers tax advantages on dividend distributions (Schachtelprivileg, § 8b KStG). A Familienstiftung serves long-term Vermögensschutz across generations. Both instruments can be combined.
Can I move existing structures over to you?
Yes. Many clients come with existing corporate structures, wills or foundations. I analyse the existing structure, identify optimisation potential and accompany a possible reorganisation.
Let’s talk.
Whether it is a first conversation or a Second Opinion: I take the time for your questions. Confidential, no obligation, on equal footing.
