Built on Real Client Challenges
Every strategy we develop comes from solving actual problems for businesses like yours. We don't work from textbooks – we work from experience.
How Problems Became Our Process
Back in early 2024, we had a manufacturing client who was losing nearly 40% of their profits to inefficient tax structures. Traditional approaches weren't working because their business model didn't fit standard categories. That's when we realized something important.
The Discovery Method
Instead of forcing businesses into predetermined tax frameworks, we started mapping their actual cash flows first. This reverse-engineering approach revealed optimization opportunities that conventional methods missed entirely.
Technology Integration
We developed custom analysis tools that connect directly with business accounting systems. This means real-time strategy adjustments rather than annual reviews that come too late.
The People Behind Spitzlei
Dorothea Klammer
Tax Strategy Director
Dorothea spent eight years working with mid-sized businesses that were falling through the cracks of traditional tax planning. Her background in both corporate finance and small business operations gives her a unique perspective on where opportunities actually exist. She's the one who figured out how to make complex tax regulations work for real businesses instead of against them.
Niklaus Büttner
Senior Financial Analyst
Niklaus builds the systems that make our personalized approach possible at scale. His engineering background means he thinks about tax optimization like solving technical problems – systematically and with attention to details that matter. When clients see their custom analysis dashboards, that's Niklaus's work making complex financial data actually useful.
What Drives Our Work
Problem-First Thinking
We start with what's actually not working in your business, not with what we think you should need. Every strategy begins with understanding your specific challenges.
Transparent Process
You'll understand exactly how we arrived at our recommendations. No black box solutions or strategies you can't explain to your own accountant.
Real Results
We measure success by actual improvements in your business operations and tax efficiency. Theory doesn't matter if it doesn't work in practice.
Innovation Born from Necessity
The most effective innovations in our process came from clients who had problems we'd never seen before. Like the restaurant chain that needed different tax strategies for each location based on local regulations, or the tech startup whose revenue model changed every quarter.
Adaptive Framework
Instead of rigid planning cycles, we created a system that adjusts strategies as your business evolves. When your operations change, your tax approach changes with it – automatically.
Future-Ready Planning
Our 2025 strategy development includes provisions for business model changes, regulatory updates, and market shifts. We plan for uncertainty instead of hoping it won't happen.
