She is an award-winning and distinguished expert – she is among the best tax law experts recommended by Rzeczpospolita. She also ranked 3rd among top tax advisers in CIT category of Dziennik Gazeta Prawna. She has authored numerous presentations and publications, and is a PhD student at the Faculty of Management, Information Technology and Finance of the Wroclaw University of Economics and Business.

Support for Ukraine – donation from Rödl & Partner

As part of our support for Ukraine, we have partnered with the Association for People with Intellectual Disability – “Bonitum” of Wrocław.

The Partners have decided to cancel the joint celebration of 30 years of Rödl & Partner in Poland and to support initiatives helping war-stricken Ukraine instead. We have donated 200 thousand zloty, which will be used to purchase equipment for ambulances.

As there are no ambulances for helping civilians (most ambulances have been given to the army), the Association runs the initiative “Ambulances for Kiev”. They equip medical ambulances and donate them to Ukrainian hospitals or establishments which take care of the disabled and elderly.

The Association will use our donation to buy comprehensive medical equipment for one ambulance (medical and patient monitoring devices, as well as equipment used in most serious emergencies).

Rödl & Partner in the 21st Ranking of Audit Firms by Rzeczpospolita

In this year's 21st Ranking of Audit Firms by Rzeczpospolita, we have ranked 11th in terms of audit revenue (2021 figures). Taking into account total revenue, we are just behind the Big Four, i.e. in 5th place.

revenue from financial audits, used for calculation of the supervision fee;
number of audits conducted in 2021;
number of statutory auditors licensed in Poland;
number of people engaged in audits (excluding administration).

Support for Rödl & Partner’s employees from Ukraine and their families

Our firm has global reach and one of our values is “caring”. Facing the ongoing war in Ukraine, Rödl & Partner’s employees in Poland have been helping their colleagues from Ukraine and their families from the very beginning.

Transportation and housing

Rödl & Partner Poland has set up a special task force to coordinate in-house aid initiatives – mainly for our employees from Kiev and Kharkov offices. We take care of arrival and housing of our employees and their families – from organising the travel from Ukraine to picking up people from the border to providing accommodation, legal aid and workstation to support in everyday life in Poland. We have managed to look after more than 60 people and 9 animals. Our employees have demonstrated huge commitment to the cause often providing support in their private time.

Money collection among colleagues

We are running an in-house money collection. The money will be spent on helping our colleagues from Ukraine to settle in Poland. We are also collecting things such as food, clothing, household equipment (appliances, furniture etc.). Colleagues support colleagues also in formal and legal issues like applying for a personal identity card, enrolling kids in kindergartens, visiting doctors. We continuously work with two people who speak Ukrainian. We try to make our colleagues and their families feel safe.

30-Year Anniversary Gala of Rödl & Partner Poland cancelled

Moreover, the firm has decided to cancel its grand gala to celebrate 30 years of Rödl & Partner in Poland. The ongoing war in Ukraine which requires support and aid for our employees and their families is not an appropriate time for partying and celebration. Rödl & Partner Poland has donated 200 thousand zloty to organisations that provide humanitarian aid to Ukraine.
