    In Austria, TPA provides the following services: tax advisory, auditing and advisory. In brief, this is TPA’s philosophy: “Face to Face Business”. In terms of thinking and acting, TPA employees remain as closely as possible to the client. Their work is characterised by on-site expertise, top-class know-how, and an understanding of a wide range of industries.

    The special expertise of the TPA experts includes, among others, extensive know-how in the fields of real estate, the formation and reorganisation of companies, models of succession, in corporate legal structures as well as in labour, employment and pension law.

    The TPA Group: regional roots. Worldwide network.

    The TPA Group is an independent member of Baker Tilly Europe Alliance and is thus able to provide to its clients a worldwide network of tax advisors, auditors and consultants.

    Thanks to our alliance with the Baker Tilly International network, the 11 countries of the independent TPA Group are perfectly connected at global level, and we are able to provide high-quality services in all the main business centres and regions of the world.

    The Baker Tilly International network currently consists of 165 independent members in 141 countries, employing a total workforce of 28,000 in 745 offices, which puts it among the top 10 global consultancy networks.

    The history of TPA.

    TPA (originally an abbreviation for: Treuhand Partner Austria) was founded in 1979 in Langenlois/Lower Austria. The company grew quickly – in 1990, the number of employees had already increased to 65. In the early 1990s, the company started to expand to Central and South Eastern Europe.

    Today, the independent TPA Group is operating in eleven countries. As a consequence of the Crowe Horwath International membership, the brand name was changed to “TPA Horwath” at the beginning of 2005.

    Autumn 2016 marked the next important development step of “TPA”, one of Austria’s leading tax advisory and auditing companies: in all 11 countries of Central and South Eastern Europe, the Group is now an independent member of Baker Tilly Europe Alliance under its own brand name, “TPA”.

    Thanks to the company’s alliance with the Baker Tilly International network, the 11 countries of the independent TPA Group are perfectly connected at global level, and TPA is able to provide high-quality services in all the main business centres and regions of the world.

    Still an independent company, TPA is now one of Austria’s biggest tax advisory and auditing firms successfully operating in Central and South Eastern Europe.
