This year’s Stammtisch 2026 was all about smart collaboration, genuine exchange, and a topic that is often underestimated in practice – onboarding.
Under the motto “Start smart – successful onboarding,” our Stammtisch took place at two locations for the first time this year:
Both evenings were characterized by openness, honest practical insights, strong personalities on stage – and the shared desire to rethink accounting, digital services, and client loyalty.
Salzburg: Beneath the surface
The kick-off for Stammtisch 2026 was in Salzburg, more specifically at the B10 Location in Salzburg City.
In a personal setting and open atmosphere, it became clear from the start: The topic of onboarding strikes a chord.
The exchange was lively, honest, and characterized by practical questions:
- How do we integrate accounting clients effectively?
- How can digital service succeed without overwhelming anyone?
- How does a structured start strengthen client loyalty?
Already on this first evening, it became evident: 👉 Smart firms don’t start with tools, but with understanding.
Vienna: Above the
rooftops of Vienna
Two days after the kick-off in Salzburg, Stammtisch 2026 made a stop above the rooftops of Vienna.
The exclusive location Juwel provided the ideal setting for conversations with vision.
The focus was on:
- smart onboarding
- digital service
- Out of the comfort zone – into growth
The exchange was open, honest, and practical.
👉 A second evening that showed how valuable new perspectives in different locations are.
The firm’s view:
Structure creates freedom
From the perspective of tax advisors, it became clear:
- Onboarding is an investment
- Structure relieves teams
- Clear processes improve quality
- Digital tools only work if they are explained correctly
Smart firms do not rely on more work, but on better workflows – especially in accounting with real-time data.
The client’s view:
Understanding creates trust
The corporate perspective was at least as valuable.
Because clients want:
- Clarity instead of technical jargon
- Guidance instead of overwhelm
- Transparency instead of surprises
Well-executed onboarding ensures:
✔️ better collaboration
✔️ higher satisfaction
✔️ stronger client loyalty
We would like to sincerely thank all speakers who impressed with their openness, experience, and plain talk:
Salzburg Speakers
- Manfred Leitinger, Prodinger Leitinger und Partner firm
- Alexander Teckentrup, Hubertushof
Vienna Speakers
- Alexander Nagl, Ecovis Austria
All three gave honest insights into their daily challenges
and showed that digital services and personal proximity are not a contradiction.
Another highlight at the Stammtisch in Vienna was the guest lecture by Hans‑Jörg Franz (Xdream).
With impressive life situations, he showed:
- why people like to stay in their comfort zone
- how fear blocks change
- and why the greatest potential lies exactly where it gets uncomfortable
His message was clear:
“Growth does not begin where it is safe – but where you dare to take the first step.”
A lecture that was not only motivating but also gave many people food for thought for a long time.
Discussion that continued –
even after the official part
After the lectures, the floor was opened for a discussion round that lived up to its name:
- lively
- honest
- practical
Questions were asked, challenged, supplemented, and shared. It was precisely this exchange that made it clear:
👉 Successful onboarding is not a finished concept – but a shared learning process.
What we take away – and what’s next
The atmosphere on both evenings was more than pleasant.
For us as organizers, it was clear:
- We are taking away valuable impulses
- We are sharpening our future roadmap
- We are taking the next steps with motivation and determination
Because one thing has been confirmed: 
Those who think of accounting, onboarding, and client loyalty together create real added value.
Stammtisch 2026 has shown:
- Onboarding is a strategic tool
- Accounting with real-time data needs clear processes
- Digital services only work with a clear introduction
- Client loyalty begins with the first contact
Start smart is not a buzzword – it is a decision.
