Five decades of experience and integrity
The origins of the WW+KN office go all the way back to the 1950s, when Josef Seifert founded his accountancy and tax office at the Alter Kornmarkt in Regensburg. He was later followed by Gerhard Wagner in Regensburg in 1979 and then Dr. Udo Kämpf in Munich-Ottobrunn in 1984, both of whom established or continued to build up the offices at their current locations. In 2005, Matthias Winkler and Kerstin Winkler joined the Regensburg office and in 2011, Markus Krinninger and Dr. René Neubert joined the office in Munich-Ottobrunn.
Seminars and publications
The WW+KN office distinguishes itself by an active calendar of seminars and publications. The WW+KN partners continually hold seminars at banks, companies, the Association of German Machine and System Construction or, for example at the German-Slovenian Chamber of Commerce . A core element at WW+KN is the annual year-end seminars for company managers, where fiscal recommendations for setting up year-end tax reports are presented.
Training and competence
Initial and ongoing training is very important at WW+KN. Once a week in each WW+KN office the internal "Tax Meeting" takes place where topics such as administrative developments in the office, current taxation changes, and special perennial questions are dealt with. Additionally, each partner and specialised employee participates in a number of external trainings each year. This ensures that the expertise at WW+KN remains at the highest level. WW+KN's competence has been recognised accordingly and rewarded many times in the past.
