Why we exist

0Years

exclusively business valuation.

Valuation deserves full attention. Whoever decides on values – values on which judges rule, shareholders vote and entrepreneurs sell – needs someone who does nothing else. Since 2001, that is all we do.

We value, advise and audit – independently and neutrally as court-appointed experts and court-appointed auditors, or on your side as advisors. We always communicate clearly in which role we act.

Andreas Creutzmann

"Focus is the most radical form of quality. That is why, since 2001, we have done valuation only, deliberately forgoing everything else."

WP StB Dipl.-Kfm. Andreas Creutzmann, CVA
Chairman of the Management Board
