Tax administration meets Big Four.
NB Steuerberatung is led by Nico Bützler, German tax advisor and founder of the Cologne firm. His background combines training in the German tax administration with eight years at PwC up to Senior Manager level.
I know the German tax system from both sides—from the tax administration and from eight years at PwC. I bring this dual perspective to every client engagement.
Tax advice is more than compliance.
We support clients over the long term—from formation and first employees to holding structures and business growth. Direct communication, plain language and modern DATEV-based processes are central to our work.
We are at our strongest where entrepreneurial thinking meets technical tax expertise.

Two worlds brought together in one firm.
Training in the German tax administration: an in-depth understanding of German tax law and the way tax authorities assess risks and opportunities.
Eight years at PwC: responsibility for complex mid-market and international engagements, including holding structures, reorganisations and cross-border matters.
Modern, digital and entrepreneurial: paperless DATEV-based processes, automated workflows and direct advice from the firm’s owner.
The result: Big Four quality without Big Four distance.
Cologne, road cycling and the bigger picture.
Born and raised in Cologne, Nico lives in the heart of the city. Away from client work, he is a passionate road cyclist—along the Rhine, through the Bergisches Land and into the Eifel.
The same qualities shape his work: endurance, structure, a clear goal and a commitment to moving forward together.
