GGI member firm Benefitax is delighted to be among the best tax advisors in Germany honoured by Handelsblatt for the third time. The small but powerful team and Managing Partner Oliver Biernat, who is Global Chair of the GGI International Taxation Practice Group (ITPG), were able to not only answer the challenging technical questions correctly but also to demonstrate particular expertise in the area of payroll accounting.
“We are very proud that we were once again able to prove our expertise,” says Oliver Biernat, “and this despite the fact that we did not have as many staff on board as we would have liked at the time of the survey – partly due to sick leave.”
In the time since the Handelsblatt survey, new employees have been recruited at Benefitax, and Oliver hopes to be awarded again next year in the other specialist areas that belong to Benefitax's core competences.
