“Sound professional knowledge and China expertise is not enough to become a reliable partner. We need to understand the core of our clients’ business.” Christian Vogt Partner

Together with Gerald Neumann and Eileen Wu, Christian is one of the founding partners of Ebner Stolz China. After obtaining a master’s degree in mathematics in Germany, he moved to China in 1993; he is fluent in Mandarin Chinese. Over the past 18 years, while working in CFO roles in the Shanghai offices of German banking and leasing firms, he has learned how to effectively handle the challenges posed by the rapidly changing Chinese regulatory environment.

His long-term experience is invaluable, particularly when advising foreign enterprises on how to optimize their accounting, controlling, compliance, and financing structures in response to specific Chinese requirements.

“We have seen major strides in China in terms of technological development. As far as the legal and economic structure goes, however, China is still a developing country. A comprehensive advisory is therefore a critical factor for any investment in the Chinese market.” Dr. Gerald Neumann Partner

Prior to relocating to Essen, Germany, he lived in Shanghai for twelve years and still maintains an apartment there for his frequent visits to China and Southeast Asia. Besides being responsible for the tax team, he acts as the consultant for the Chinese subsidiaries of our European clients and regularly liaises with their headquarters in Europe. He is also the supervisor of several prominent European LLCs in China.
