In December 2007, our then partners and directors, Prof. Dr. Martin Klem, WP/StB/FCCA, and Peter Gorontzy, StB and Actuary DAV, set up the business in order to deliver audit and audit related services to their clients through well-experienced and professionally qualified experts.
We serve you as highly qualified Registered Auditors and/or Registered Tax Advisors. In addition to its own people, Fidacta also draws on experienced specialists from the personal network of its partners and employees, if required.
