Handelsblatt Ranking 2026: KHS once again among Germany’s leading tax advisory firms
Tax advisory that delivers
KHS has been recognised by Handelsblatt, one of the highest-circulation and leading German business and financial newspapers, as one of the “Best Tax Advisors 2026” in Germany.
The award honours firms that stand out through high professional quality and specialisation. For us, this recognition is a meaningful confirmation of our daily work – and of our commitment to supporting our clients with sound expertise, reliability and a true partnership approach.
A closer look at the methodology
The study was conducted by the analysis institute SWI Finance on behalf of Handelsblatt. Around 30,000 tax advisors and auditors were invited to participate. The evaluation is based on responses from several thousand firms.
The assessment included, among other factors:
- the qualifications of employees
- expertise across various specialist areas
- the professional positioning of the firms
Those recognised as “Best Tax Advisors 2026” achieved at least 70 percent of the maximum possible score.
An award that confirms our standards
Professional precision and specialisation are core to our work.
In a rapidly evolving environment – shaped by digitalisation, increasing regulatory requirements and growing complexity – it is essential to combine deep expertise with a clear understanding of each client’s individual situation. This award shows that this standard is also recognised in the market.
What defines good tax advisory for us
Beyond technical excellence, we see tax advisory as a collaborative partnership.
As a boutique firm, we place particular emphasis on:
- personal advice and direct points of contact
- clear and transparent communication
- solutions that are not only technically sound, but also practical
Our goal is to provide orientation and to support our clients in making well-founded, sustainable decisions.
A shared success
This recognition is above all the result of the daily work of our team.
With great commitment, professional diligence and a strong focus on quality, all our colleagues contribute to consistently advancing this path. We would also like to thank our clients for their trust and the close, collaborative relationships we share.
What we particularly appreciate: the recognition as “Best Tax Advisors 2026” follows last week’s award in the field of auditing by manager magazin. For us, this underlines that our standards extend across all our core service areas.
