Structure review

We open the year by re-reading last year's structure against the new rules.

III

A structure that carries the next generation.

A typical result: operating risk ring-fenced, licence income pooled, the next generation holding through a foundation with voting rights retained.

Advisory, not just filing

Most firms react to the tax year that already happened. We build structures ahead of it — corporate, personal, and cross-border — so the filing is the easy part.

  1. I

    Corporate Tax Structuring

    Entity structure, group relief, and jurisdictional planning built around your actual operations.

  2. II

    Succession & Estate Planning

    Multi-generational transfer of family businesses and private wealth, structured ahead of time.

  3. III

    Cross-Border Wealth Advisory

    Coordinated tax planning for clients and assets spanning more than one jurisdiction.

  4. IV

    M&A Tax Due Diligence

    Buy-side and sell-side tax due diligence, structuring, and post-deal integration.

The Firm

Founded in Frankfurt, Kessler Wealth Advisory advises family-owned businesses, founders, and private clients on corporate tax structuring, succession planning, and cross-border wealth. We work as a standing advisory partner, not a once-a-year filing service.
