📍 Expat Center Berlin – German Sherpa

Welcome to Berlin — a global city where creativity meets capital, where startups meet history, and where people from all over the world come to build their future. At German Sherpa, we provide independent financial consulting for expats in Berlin, offering personalized support in insurance, tax, investment, and real estate — in English, German, or Spanish.

Whether you’re a tech specialist in Mitte, a creative entrepreneur in Kreuzberg, a diplomat in Charlottenburg, or a family relocating to Prenzlauer Berg, our team understands the expat journey — and how to help you master the German financial system.

Living in Berlin comes with opportunity — but also complexity. There’s a maze of regulations around health insurance, taxation, pensions, and investments. If you’re unfamiliar with the system or don’t speak fluent German, it can quickly become overwhelming. That’s where we come in.

Our consultants support you with:

• Choosing between private and public health insurance
• Salary and tax optimization strategies
• Investment planning based on your career and risk profile
• Real estate purchase and financing advice
• Family protection (income, legal, kids’ savings)
• Transparent, bilingual explanations of German financial products

We are fully independent and not tied to any insurance or banking provider. That means we always work in your interest — with a strategic, long-term view of your financial goals in Germany.

Berlin is a truly international city. More than one-third of Berliners have a non-German background. The startup scene is booming, large employers like Zalando, Deutsche Bahn, N26, Bayer, and Amazon continue to grow, and the cultural landscape is rich and global.

Berlin’s uniqueness lies in its diversity. Whether you’re in tech, science, education, media, or the arts, you’ll find your place here — and with that, the need to understand how your financial life fits into the German system.

What makes Berlin ideal for expats?

It’s Europe’s startup capital and Germany’s innovation hub. It’s full of coworking spaces, venture capital, and opportunity. But it’s also a place of contrast — affordable housing in some districts, rising prices in others, high freedom and creativity paired with complex bureaucracy.

And it’s not just about work. Berlin is a city that invites you to live. You can spend your mornings walking in Tiergarten, take your kids to a bilingual Kita, work from a café in Neukölln, and attend a concert at the Philharmonie — all on the same day.

For families, Berlin offers a great balance: international schools, green spaces, public childcare, and a community of expats from every continent. For professionals, it’s a launchpad. For creatives, it’s a blank canvas.

But no matter how exciting Berlin is, managing your financial future here still requires structure, planning, and trusted guidance. That’s where German Sherpa comes in.

We help expats in Berlin:

• Avoid common financial mistakes
• Get the right insurance coverage without overpaying
• Plan tax-efficiently — especially in international contracts or dual-income situations
• Start investing wisely while living abroad
• Understand retirement planning (Germany vs. home country)
• Buy real estate with the right financing strategy
• Prepare for long-term stability and freedom

We don’t offer generic advice — we offer personalized strategy, based on your goals, your income, your visa status, and your life stage.

All our consultations are available in English, online or on-site, and are completely free of charge. We believe transparency, empathy, and education are the best tools for long-term financial success — and that’s what we bring to every client relationship.

Whether you’re in Berlin for a few years or for life, let’s make the most of your financial opportunities in Germany — with clarity, control, and confidence.
