Partner
Sebastian was born in Vorarlberg in 1984 and went to school in Hohenems and Dornbirn. Shortly after coming of age, he moved to the other end of Austria to study in Vienna – and, as it turned out, came to stay. He still lives in Vienna’s 5th district with his partner and son. In his free time, Sebastian enjoys his great passion, cooking (though he hates baking).
Sebastian studied business and law at the Vienna University of Economics and Business, graduating in 2012. His interest in tax law was sparked by his parents’ family business. He started working in tax advisory alongside his studies in 2009 and soon discovered his passion for indirect taxes, in which he increasingly specialised.
He completed the professional training with the Chamber and was sworn in as a tax advisor in 2016. He worked at LeitnerLeitner and moved to BDO Austria in 2018, where he managed the VAT department as head of department. There he already worked closely with Michael Huber, the partner in charge of the VAT department. In 2021, he joined HGF, initially as a director, and has been a partner in HGF’s management since October 2021.
