Business consulting for clear decisions.

We offer practical application, pragmatism, and feasibility. Instead of standardised concepts.

Management Consulting at audalis

Clarity, even in complex situations.

Our management consulting is an integral part of our commercial law firm. We provide economic, organisational and strategic solutions from a single source. Our experienced team of consultants reliably supports medium-sized and owner-managed companies through phases of growth, change or challenge.

Our consulting focus areas include:

 

  • Business development & optimisation
  • Organisation and processes
  • Restructuring & insolvency advice
  • M&A process support & succession
  • Project management, funding and financing

 

With experience, clarity, and the ability to execute, we develop viable solutions: individual, practical, and collaborative. Instead of theoretical concepts, we focus on concrete results and economic stability. We analyse, plan, and support the implementation, creating transparency and relieving decision-makers.

Our approach: Think entrepreneurially, act solution-oriented, and take responsibility for sustainable success and future-proof company structures.

Our range of services

We will support you on your path to self-employment with a professional market assessment, the development of business plans and the creation of financing concepts. In addition, we will research the use of subsidies and assist with bank meetings.

We analyse the eligibility of your projects for funding, identify suitable programmes and support with conception, application and implementation. A key focus is on funding within the framework of the „Improvement of the Regional Economic Structure“ (GRW) joint task and research grants. Furthermore, we advise on securing financing through state guarantees.

Additionally, we offer targeted impulse consultations on the establishment of advisory boards and guidance on setting up structured data and process foundations for digital applications.

We support M&A processes as a moderating and structuring partner for both buyers and sellers. Our focus is on procedural and strategic preparation, coordinating stakeholders, and providing support with financial due diligence and business valuations. This ensures an orderly and focused transaction process.

We support succession processes from economic preparation and structuring through to implementation. This includes guidance through handover and transformation phases, the assessment of succession models, and business valuations. In the case of transaction-based successions, we provide close and structured support throughout the process.

Comprehensive support for business development: from analysis and integrated planning, through strategy and business model development, to supporting growth and transformation. This is complemented by management accounting, cost accounting, financing, banking communications and credit rating optimisation, as well as management-level consultation.

We advise medium-sized companies on the development of future-proof organisational structures. Our range of services includes the design of organisational structures and processes, clarification of responsibilities and decision-making paths, and the introduction of effective leadership and steering systems (e.g. shop floor management or Lean approaches). In addition, we support the further development of leadership culture and cooperation between locations and levels.

Meticulous planning and timely controlling are the pillars of entrepreneurial success. We undertake tasks such as sales, balance sheet, profitability, liquidity, investment, and financing planning, and create budget vs. actual comparisons, forecasts, and cost centre accounting.

We support complex investment and financing projects from the initial concept through to successful implementation. This includes the structuring and planning of financing solutions, managing all project stakeholders, and taking on project management tasks.

We offer process consulting to improve administrative procedures, optimise operational processes and implement process-oriented digitalisation. We also provide support with compliance with regulatory requirements, for example within the scope of GoBD procedural documentation and internal control systems (IKS).

Restructuring

Comprehensive restructuring support, from the analysis of crisis causes to integrated reorganisation and restructuring concepts (IBR/IDW S 6), to liquidity planning and short-term financial control. Supplemented by measures for profit improvement and support for operational implementation.

Operational support for the insolvency administrator in local provisional and opened insolvency proceedings. This includes liquidity planning and monitoring, controlling and reporting, management of the ordering and release process, point of contact for employees, management, customers and suppliers, contribution to the preparation of insolvency plans, execution or coordination of a distressed M&A process, company valuation, and examination of potential avoidance actions.

Support in insolvency and self-administration proceedings: from preparation and economic support to operational stabilisation and restructuring. This includes going-concern analyses and management support.

Process

Our professional initial consultation

Dui pellentesque ut ornare ut ut id consectetur. Orci proin dui odio vulputate gravida viverra adipiscing. Quis facilisis nibh ultrices quisque auctor.

01

Understanding concerns

During our initial consultation, we will discuss your objectives, your previous experience and your expectations of a tax consultancy. This ensures that, right from the start, it is clear how we should be assessed and where the focus of our advice should lie.

02

Your current situation in figures

We review your documents, tax structures and level of digitalisation. This enables us to quickly identify where opportunities and risks lie – and where, for example, there are untapped opportunities to streamline structures and reduce your tax burden.

03

Expertise rather than gut feeling

Drawing on our experience and expertise, we work with you to develop several structuring options, each with specific tax implications. You will be able to see, in figures, which options best address your specific needs whilst also aligning with your business or personal planning.

04

A clear plan, clear steps

You can choose the most suitable option from a range of clear and straightforward choices and receive a detailed roadmap for implementation and timing. This means you’ll know exactly what needs to be done and when – and what results you can expect over what timeframe.

05

Accompany, don't just advise.

We support you in implementing your chosen structure in your accounting, contracts and reporting. This transforms concepts into a clear, practical solution that works in day-to-day operations and stands up to tax scrutiny.

06

A team that knows your business.

You will work on an ongoing basis with a dedicated team comprising a case handler, a designated professional and a partner. This ensures that you always have direct points of contact who are familiar with your business, can respond promptly and proactively highlight any changes.

07

Shaping rather than managing.

During regular strategy meetings, we review whether your circumstances or objectives have changed and adjust your tax structure accordingly. This ensures that your tax burden is not left to chance, but is actively managed and optimised on an ongoing basis.
