German Sherpa – Expat Financial Consulting Düsseldorf

Welcome to the Düsseldorf Expat Center – the birthplace of German Sherpa and one of the most international cities in Germany.

Back in 2015, German Sherpa began right here in Düsseldorf with one simple mission: to help English-speaking expats navigate the complex world of finance, insurance, tax, and investment in Germany. The very first Expat Live Sessions were held here – and to this day, Düsseldorf remains one of our strongest locations and most active expat communities.

Whether you’re a new arrival, a seasoned professional, or relocating your family, German Sherpa Düsseldorf offers you personalized, English-language financial consulting in the heart of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW).

Why Düsseldorf?

Düsseldorf isn’t just the capital of NRW – it’s one of Germany’s leading economic powerhouses and consistently ranked as one of the country’s most livable cities. It’s a place where international opportunity meets high quality of life.

Here are just a few reasons why Düsseldorf is the perfect city for expats:

  • Home to the global headquarters of Vodafone, Henkel, and E.ON, as well as hundreds of international companies and consultancies
  • A vibrant startup scene with over 600 tech firms and creative agencies
  • World-renowned as the Fashion and Beauty Capital of Germany, with trade fairs like Beauty Düsseldorf and CPD Fashion Week
  • A key cultural destination with top museums, theaters, and architectural landmarks
  • Fast connections to Cologne, the Ruhrgebiet, Benelux, and beyond

Living in Düsseldorf means enjoying a rich mix of German tradition and international flair — from cozy Brauhäuser and scenic Rhine walks to global business and education opportunities.

German Sherpa’s Roots in Düsseldorf

This city is not only where we started — it’s where we laid the foundation for a nationwide movement to support expats with transparent, personalized, and professional financial advice.

The first Expat Live Sessions, where we shared insights into the German financial and tax system, were launched in Düsseldorf. Since then, we’ve helped thousands of international families, engineers, IT specialists, researchers, and business professionals make informed financial decisions.

We’re proud to say: no other city is more deeply connected to German Sherpa’s history and vision than Düsseldorf.
