Founded in 2000 and headquartered in Munich, Germany, WTS Group ("WTS") is a leading independent, full-service provider of tax and complementary financial advisory services. Through its WTS Global network, WTS serves clients in more than 100 countries, including around 95% of the DAX40 and a broad range of mid-sized global market leaders.

The company focuses on high-end tax and tax-related services, representing ~85% of revenue, complemented by adjacent advisory services. WTS is a recognized pioneer in digitizing the tax advisory industry through an AI-first approach.

EQT will support WTS in its next phase of growth, with the ambition to build a European, AI-native tax advisory champion. Key priorities include further accelerating the AI and tech transformation, expanding into new geographies across Europe organically and through pan-European M&A and team lift-outs from leading competitors, as well as continuing to strengthen WTS’ highly attractive employer brand, including the opportunity to join a true equity partnership.
