Dragon & Gries

Dragon & Gries is a recruitment consultancy specialising in tax professionals. It places tax advisers and tax experts, including those without the formal tax adviser title, in in-house roles and in specialised tax advisory firms across Germany. Its work covers tax, customs and payroll, for both specialist and management positions, mostly as permanent hires at international corporations and consulting firms. Its clients include DAX groups, international companies and consulting firms.

The company was founded in 2019 by Maximilian Dragon and Alexander Gries, who are its managing directors. They say they have worked with tax professionals since 2015, first as recruiters in a corporate setting. The company says more than 200 tax departments at corporations and consulting firms are among its partners, and that it has held over 4,500 conversations with tax advisers and managers.

It operates from two offices, in Berlin and Aachen. Berlin handles candidate support and project management, while Aachen wins new assignments and approaches candidates directly at their workplace.
