History
The company Horváth & Partners was founded by the university professors Péter Horváth and Erich Zahn and the entrepreneur Hans-Georg Winderlich as IFUA Institut für Unternehmensanalyse in October 1981.
In the 1980s, employees entered the young company who significantly helped shaping the structure of the advisory group and who still fill important positions in 2013: Bernd Gaiser, Michael Kieninger, Reinhold Mayer, Andreas Renner and Christof Schimank. After the death of Hans-Georg Winderlich and the separation of Erich Zahn in 1989, the Company was continued as IFUA Horváth & Partners GmbH.
In the 1990s, the organization grew to an international consulting group with offices in Budapest (1990), Vienna (1994), Zurich (2000), Bucharest (2005) and Abu Dhabi (2008).
Together with his partners, Péter Horváth encouraged the development of new controlling methods (for example activity-based costing or the target costing approach) in his company. In the mid-1990s, Péter Horváth was involved in introducing the concept of the balanced scorecard in Europe.
In 2000, the company re-organized itself: The Horváth AG was founded as a holding company of the Horváth & Partners group and issue-areas as well as industry expertise were bundled into competence centers. Péter Horváth took over the Chairmanship. Since that date, the newly created board and the partners are responsible for the management of the holding and its subsidiaries.
In 2006, the company became a member of Highland Worldwide, an international network of independent consulting companies. In 2008, the company reached 400 employees and the group surmounted 100 million euro in sales for the first time. In 2012, the company was ranked ninth after Bain & Company in the German consulting industry by the business news magazine Wirtschaftswoche. In terms of turnover, Horváth & Partners is the fourth largest business consultancy with a German origin.
