Mazars

The tax consulting practice Brönner was founded in Berlin in 1919. The auditing profession did not yet exist at that time. As a reaction to the global economic crisis , the compulsory examination was introduced in 1931 by an emergency ordinance as part of the amendment to stock corporation law and this profession was created. In November 1931 Herbert Brönner became the 13th auditor in Germany at all. From these beginnings, the Dres. Brönner Treuhand-Revision GmbH and the Brönner Rechtsanwälte Partnerschaft developed over time , which as the Brönner Group offered interdisciplinary auditing and tax advice as well as legal advice as well as financial, asset and payroll accounting.
