Get to Know RÖDL:

Our focus on the accounting, assurance, and tax needs of foreign, family-owned midsized ("Mittelstand") businesses operating in the U.S. carries forward from our two founding firms. Rödl & Partner (founded in 1977 in Nuremberg, Germany) and Langford de Kock & Co. (founded in 1976 in Atlanta, GA) and their merger in 2001.

As the preferred accounting, auditing, tax, and business consulting professional services firm of German-speaking and other international entities, you will benefit from the extensive experience of our U.S. certified public accountants, as well as our bilingual staff of professionals, many of whom also carry international certifications (StB, WP, Dottori Commercialisti, CA).

At RÖDL, our integrated approach to client success revolves around collaboration. We prioritize internal synergy, ensuring seamless integration across departments to guarantee holistic client support. Additionally, our thorough oversight involves equipping managers and seniors with the necessary tools for effective performance and deadline adherence. These principles underscore our commitment to excellence in client service.
