WTS continues to grow with new location in Leipzig

WTS, a global full-service provider of tax advisory, digital and financial & deal advisory services, has opened a new 14th German location in Leipzig and is further expanding its range of consulting services for payroll and financial accounting.

"The demand for tax consulting services from a single source is high and constantly increasing. This includes, in particular, payroll & accounting services that are related to our core business. In order to meet this growing demand, we have strengthened our existing and excellently positioned teams and established a further hub for this consulting field in Leipzig," commented Florian Oehl and Philipp Besson, both Managing Partners at WTS.

The Leipzig branch will start with a team of experienced payroll and accounting experts and will be continuously expanded. They specialize in taking over commercial business processes in the area of payroll & accounting as commissioned data processing. This means that the WTS Group now has a significantly larger consultant base in these areas, spread across the Frankfurt, Munich, Kolbermoor, Hanover, Rosenheim and Leipzig locations. Together they provide a nationwide integrated service offering.

In its consulting approach, the WTS Group is increasingly focusing on automated processes and tool-supported solutions. It bundles its digital expertise in the WTS Digital division, which also leverages synergies for the Payroll & Accounting division. "Our highly trained payroll and financial accountants not only work with DATEV, but also have excellent knowledge of SAP (R/3 and S/4 HANA), SBS, Agenda and other solutions. A large proportion of German companies will also have to convert their accounting to SAP S/4 Hana in the next few years. Against this backdrop, both our digital expertise, which we also want to further expand in terms of personnel at the Leipzig office, and the ability to offer short-term support in day-to-day business are of crucial importance for our clients," explains Sascha Schöben, founding partner of the new office.

Fritz Esterer, CEO of the WTS Group, adds: "With this new strength, we are in a position to provide our clients with even more comprehensive support in ongoing business, but also in interim assignments as part of projects. For example, in the case of strategic changes such as carve-outs, reorganizations, spin-offs or joint ventures, we can provide the payroll & accounting functions of companies and scale the service up or down as required.
