How we work
We support you with professionalism and personal proximity in order to organize your national and international tax matters in such a way that you have the greatest possible scope for action. We want to make a difference for our international clientele and rely on our expertise, innovative approaches and creativity.
We don't just see ourselves as consultants - we see ourselves much more as long-term companions. Our authentic and appreciative support sets us apart. We tackle complex tax challenges with clarity and simplicity to provide our clients with the certainty they need to make informed decisions.
What you can expect when you work with us

Our aim is to be understandable and approachable for you - and not to bore you with tax-speak. It is important to us that our clients feel that they are working with people who are genuinely committed to their individual tax concerns and goals.
Expertise and professionalism
The TQ Intelligent Tax Design team supports clients - companies and private individuals - who are looking for a strategic partner with expertise and professionalism. Consultants who act proactively and innovatively on the international stage. They appreciate working with us because we are passionately committed to their goals.
Do you also operate internationally in Spain, Malta, Cyprus, the DACH region and Portugal - and are you looking for a trustworthy cooperation in matters of international tax law? Then get in touch with us.
Daniel Anwander - Tax consultant with heart and soul
The founding of TQ Intelligent Tax Design was another dream come true for me. It is - and remains - an exciting journey, and I enjoy every step of it, gladly with you as a client.
About Daniel Anwander
With a fresh tax consultant title in my pocket, which I had earned in 2005, it was clear to me: I would set up my own tax consultancy firm. Just one year later, this vision had become reality. Within five years, I not only built up a 15-strong team, but was also able to recruit a former employee as my business partner. Together, we faced up to the growing consulting needs of our clients.
You can also learn a lot from teaching
From 2011 to 2014, I shared my knowledge as a specialist lecturer at the Stuttgart Chamber of Industry and Commerce and guided aspiring accountants on their way through the complex world of income, wage and trade tax. Teaching gave me a lot back and inspired me to become a lecturer in international tax law (IStR) via the E-Wise platform (now Dr. Endriss) from 2018. I also wrote various specialist articles to share my expertise.
In the world of bilateral tax matters
An exciting phase of my career was working with a medium-sized law and tax consultancy firm in Valencia between 2017 and 2019. There I immersed myself in the world of bilateral tax matters between Germany and Spain.
National and international tax law on the vacation island
During the COVID period, I moved almost seamlessly to a medium-sized auditing and tax consulting firm near Stuttgart and was quickly appointed branch manager and authorized signatory in Stuttgart. From September 2021, I set up and managed a tax consultancy firm in Mallorca as Managing Director. With eight employees at the time and a growing client base, the aim was to provide sophisticated advisory services in national and international tax law.
Next step, next level - the TQ Intelligent Tax Design
In 2024, I set off for new shores: With the founding of TQ Intelligent Tax Design, another dream came true for me. It is - and remains - an exciting journey, and I enjoy every step of it, gladly with you as a client.

About Christian Jakobs
Reliably continuing the tried and tested
In 2009, after passing my tax consultant exam, I took over my father's law firm in Neuwied, followed by my mother's law firm in 2011. As a second-generation tax consultant, I am familiar with the changes and wishes of a family business and the particular challenges involved in managing it, as well as the opportunities presented by generational change and the possibilities for shaping it.
Growth and opportunities
Over the years, a network of several companies and locations has been built up. We now had 4 locations and 40 employees. Then came the decision and a change in the company. Together with my partner Janik Dingel, I founded Jakobs & Dingel Steuerberatungsgesellschaft AG in 2023. Thanks to the centralization of our company and uniform external communication, we are currently represented at 9 locations throughout Germany.
