Michael Schäfer

Michael Schäfer has specialized in all aspects of employee taxation for over 15 years. His main focus is on payroll services for companies across nearly all industries and sizes — both nationally and internationally and across multiple jurisdictions (multi-country payroll). He supports his clients holistically through all phases of growth, using payroll as a central starting point — from startups to large enterprises. In addition, he concentrates on wage tax consulting, particularly the valuation of non-cash benefits, the design of modern benefit systems, and the application of double taxation treaties in the context of cross-border employee assignments (expatriates).
