The firm
Four tax advisors who own and run the practice between them. If you are a client here, you speak to one of them – not to a rotating case handler.
Johannes Oberhuber
WFS Steuerberatungs GmbH has been in practice since 2012 and is owned in equal parts by its four qualified advisors: Florian Wolfgang Kalchmair, Johannes Zott, Johannes Oberhuber and Erwin Vitovec. There is no silent partner and no chain behind us.
Your contact is a qualified tax advisor, not a forwarding address. When you call, you reach someone who knows your file and is allowed to decide. Where a matter needs a different specialism we bring in the relevant colleague – your contact stays the same.
SMEs, freelancers and artists; reorganisations, statutory audit and private foundations; VAT and international VAT planning; construction and hospitality. One of us is also a statutory auditor, one a court-certified expert witness.
How we work
Before a decision almost everything can still be structured; afterwards, almost nothing. The call before a purchase, a formation or a sale is part of the ongoing engagement.
A set of accounts only we can read has missed its purpose. We go through the figures with you and say what they tell you about your business.
Send receipts digitally; assessments reach us through FinanzOnline, the tax office’s portal, and we watch the deadlines. If you would rather drop off a folder, that still works.
As members of the Austrian public accountancy profession we are bound by statutory professional secrecy under § 80 WTBG 2017 – and remain so after an engagement ends.
Changing advisors
You do not need to terminate anything before speaking to us. In a first meeting we work out whether we are a fit. Only then do we collect your records from your current firm – that runs between the two practices, and you do not have to explain yourself there.
Best timing: the turn of a financial year or a month. It is not required – if it is urgent we take over mid-year.
Where to find us
We are in the third district, a few minutes from Wien Mitte and Rennweg stations. Meetings are by appointment – that way the advisor who fits your matter is there, rather than whoever happens to be free.
First meeting
And if we are not the right firm, we will say so – we usually know someone who fits better.
