Renate

Schnürch

More than 20 years’ experience in tax consultancy;
more than 10 years working for one of the Big Four;
independent tax advisor, founded the tax office in 2001.

Renate Schnürch brings more than two decades of specialized tax expertise to international and domestic clients navigating Germany’s complex regulatory landscape.

As owner of Kanzlei Schnürch since 2001, she combines the sophisticated capabilities of her Big Four accounting background and her entrepreneurial mindset with the personalized attention only a boutique practice can provide.

After qualifying as a Steuerberaterin in 2000 and gaining over ten years of experience with a major international accounting firm, Renate founded her Munich practice to deliver what she saw missing in the market: proactive partnership that extends beyond compliance.

Her firm has become the trusted advisor for multinational corporations establishing German subsidiaries, innovative startups structuring for growth, established mid-sized enterprises, and high-net-worth individuals with extensive tax obligations.

Renate’s practice thrives at the intersection of international business and German tax law. Fluent in both German and English, she specializes in cross-border structures, serving as the essential bridge for companies entering the German market. Her expertise spans corporate tax strategy, VAT optimization, IFRS and US GAAP accounting, and comprehensive tax audit representation. As the exclusive Germany member of IR Global—the world’s largest network of advisory firms—and an active participant in the International Fiscal Association, she connects clients to worldwide resources while maintaining the personal relationships she considers fundamental to successful collaboration.

What distinguishes Renate extends beyond her technical credentials. She’s a passionate beekeeper whose appreciation for systems, patience, and natural cycles informs her thoughtful approach to tax planning. This personal dimension reflects her broader philosophy: trust and confidentiality form the foundation of lasting client partnerships. She insists on personal conversations before engagement, ensuring each solution is tailored rather than templated. Her team shares this commitment to excellence and relationship-building. With Salary partner Rainer Böck and a dedicated staff of specialists, Kanzlei-Schnüerch offers flexible service delivery—whether digital or traditional, on-site or remote—while maintaining the partner-led attention that keeps clients returning year after year. Located in Munich’s heart at Stiglmaierplatz, Renate’s practice reflects her values: accessible, established, and genuinely invested in client success.
