Need An English-Speaking Tax Consultant?
Filing taxes in Germany can be confusing — especially if you are an expat, freelancer, self-employed, recently relocated or have income from more than one country. We help you understand your options and connect you with a suitable tax consultant.
No bots. No complicated forms. Send us your situation via WhatsApp — we review it manually and connect you personally by email.
Not every tax case needs a tax consultant — but many expat cases do.
If you are employed with a simple salary, an app may be enough. But if you are self-employed, have foreign income, rental income, relocation expenses, crypto, investments, family complexity or business activity, professional support can save time and reduce mistakes.
We help you choose the right level of support.
You send us a short WhatsApp message with your situation. We check whether an app, tax community or personal tax consultant is likely the better route — and connect you if needed.

| Basic employee salary, no side income | Tax app or Elster | Usually enough if your tax situation is simple and you feel comfortable entering the data yourself. |
| Employee with family, relocation or minor deductions | Tax community or app | Helpful when you want support but your case is still mostly employee-focused. |
| Freelancer, consultant or self-employed | Personal tax consultant | Business expenses, VAT, bookkeeping and advance payments usually need professional handling. |
