How German Sherpa became the financial compass for expats.
German Sherpa was founded by Marcel Plum with one clear goal: to make financial consulting in Germany accessible, understandable and genuinely helpful.
What started as a personal mission quickly became a trusted brand among international professionals — especially expats who want guidance from someone who understands both the German system and the international perspective.
