The book *The Tax Adviser as Crisis Manager: Supporting Businesses with a View to the Future* offers tax consultancy firms and law firms new perspectives and inspiration for the future. Among the five authors is hsp Managing Director Paul; the book project was initiated by tax adviser and practice owner Ines Scholz. The five contributors are experienced practitioners from the fields of tax and business consultancy. Together, they present consultancy approaches centred on liquidity planning, management accounting and financial reporting, which help to strengthen businesses in times of crisis.
In the fourth episode of his podcast series, law firm strategist Daniel Terwersche speaks to Ines Scholz, owner of the firm Ines Scholz Steuerberatungsgesellschaft mbH in Zwickau. The firm has long since digitised many of its processes, and communication with clients takes place almost exclusively electronically. In addition to tax consultancy, the firm specialises in succession planning and start-up consultancy.
Not just a book about the crisis
In conversation with Terwersche, it becomes clear that the book project has provided fresh inspiration and motivation for everyone involved. In particular, Scholz explains why the book has not merely become a ‘crisis book’, but will retain its relevance far beyond the pandemic. Processes initiated today could prove to be a lifeline for law firms and clients tomorrow. Scholz also discusses the in-house developed software, Cheftresor®, with Terwersche. The Business Tracker enables key decision-makers to keep track of all a company’s vital performance indicators.
Ines Scholz on the book’s diversity, her passion for management accounting and the opportunities it offers tax advisers, the added value of innovation, and many fascinating insights into the development of practice firms:
