Andersen Tax, founded 12 years ago by a group of former Arthur Andersen partners, has ramped up its presence in the European market through the addition of Alegis Gmbh Steuerberatungsgesellschaft in Düsseldorf as well as setting up a satellite in Luxembourg through Alegis S.a.r.l.

“Establishing a presence in Germany was essential to our European growth strategy,” Mark Vorsatz, chief executive of Andersen Tax.

A total of eight partners will be joining Andersen Tax’s global organisation including Sandra Behn, Frank Broßius, Michael Buder, Christian Burgardt, Carsten Feldmann, Christoph Freichel, Dr Peter Klein and Alessio Rossi.

Alegis Gmbh Steuerberatungsgesellschaft provides corporate and private client services including tax return preparation, tax litigation, tax planning, deferred tax preparation and support.

Andersen Tax was previously known as WTAS before changing its name in September last year after acquiring the rights to the Andersen name. On its website, Andersen Tax is described as “one of the largest independent tax firms in the United States”.
