In 1982 he was appointed tax advisor and 1984 auditor . After the death of his father Ludwig Graf von und zu Lerchenfeld (1923–1981) he took over the family farm in Köfering and built his own auditing and tax consultancy firm. In 1989 he joined Bayerische Treuhandgesellschaft AG with his law firm, a subsidiary of the globally active auditing and tax consultancy firm KPMG , whose branch manager was Graf von und zu Lerchenfeld in Regensburg. Then he was deputy district chairman of the CSU in the district of Regensburg and chairman of the diocesan committee of the diocese of Regensburg . He was also the chairman of the Lower Bavaria-Upper Palatinate district of the Association of Bavarian Business and the chairman of the DJK Sports Association in the diocese of Regensburg.
