Associations and foundations

Our expertise

Associations and foundations make an essential contribution to the well-being of our society. The challenges begin in the initial phase: it has to be clarified whether the association or foundation pursues charitable endeavours and can therefore receive tax privileges. Thanks to our many years of supporting associations and foundations, we have extensive expertise and – in addition to services such as payroll and financial accounting or auditing – we can also provide you with individual and optimal advice on a wide range of tax planning and optimisation issues.
