Most expats in Germany overpay taxes, under-invest and ignore a pension system that will leave them with 40% of their salary at retirement. I fix all three — in plain English.
Whether you arrived last year or have been here for a decade — these four areas decide how much you actually keep, build, and retire with.
Germany has some of the highest income tax rates in the world — and some of the best legal ways to reduce them. Most expats never find out because nobody explained it in English. Family deductions, investment structures, employer benefits: all on the table.
ETFs, private pension funds, tax-efficient savings plans — the options are real, but so are the tax traps. I build a strategy around your timeline, whether you stay in Germany long-term or eventually move on.
Access to off-market properties most buyers never see. Financing across 550+ banks with a single application — so you get the best rate without destroying your credit score. From first viewing to signed contract, fully guided in English.
Germany's state pension replaces roughly 48% of your salary. For expats with contribution gaps, it's often less than 30%. Most people find out too late. Income protection, private retirement plans and family coverage — built around how expats actually live.
I've worked with 150+ expats across Germany — students, young professionals, senior managers and families. I know the questions you have before you even ask them.
Every consultation, every document, every recommendation. No translator needed. No misunderstandings about what you're signing.
Whether you just arrived, you're building a family, buying property or planning your exit — I've worked with clients at every stage. You're not my first.
Based in Düsseldorf, working with expats across Germany. All consultations online — Berlin, Munich, Stuttgart, Frankfurt, Hamburg. Wherever you are.
If something doesn't make sense for you, I'll tell you. I'd rather lose a sale than give advice I wouldn't give to a friend.
Three steps from where you are now to a financial plan that actually works for your life in Germany.
We talk. You share your situation — income, family, goals, what's worrying you. I give you honest first impressions and tell you exactly where the biggest opportunities are for you. No pitch. No obligation. Just a useful conversation.
I analyse your full picture — tax situation, existing products, gaps and opportunities. You get a clear, written summary of what to prioritise, what to change, and what to leave alone.
We implement what makes sense — one step at a time, fully explained. I stay your point of contact as your life in Germany changes. New job, new city, new family — I'm still here.
"ok so I was honestly just going to ignore the whole tax thing for another year lol. my colleague kept telling me to talk to someone and I finally did. turns out I had been missing a few deductions for like 2 years straight. fynn sorted it out, nothing complicated, just hadn't been set up right. wish I'd done it sooner tbh"
"my husband and I moved here from Bangalore in 2022. we have a daughter, one income between us, and zero idea how any of this works. a friend recommended fynn and honestly it was one of the better decisions we've made here. he explained the pension situation which was a bit of a shock, but at least we know now. working on the property thing next."
"Coming from the US I figured financial advisors were all the same. They're not. Back home it's straightforward. Here I didn't even know what questions to ask. Fynn walked me through the whole picture — taxes, investing, what happens if I leave Germany eventually. Actual useful stuff, not a sales pitch. Still working with him two years later."
Yes — often more so. Tax optimisation works regardless of how long you stay, and the savings in 2–3 years can be significant. For investments and pension, we build strategies that are portable when you leave Germany. Many of my clients have already moved on and their plans still run perfectly.
Absolutely. A second opinion costs you nothing in the free consultation. I've found significant gaps and savings for clients who thought everything was already handled. And if everything really is optimised, you'll leave knowing that — which has its own value.
No. The first consultation is 100% free and carries zero obligation. I'll give you honest feedback on your situation and tell you what I would prioritise. Whether you work with me afterwards is entirely your decision — no pressure, no follow-up emails unless you want them.
I'm a certified financial advisor with Swiss Life Select. If we implement solutions together — insurance, investment products, financing — I receive a commission from the product provider. This is how financial advisors in Germany work. I tell you this upfront because I think transparency matters. The free consultation has no hidden catch.
Yes. Starting early is the single biggest advantage in building wealth. I work with expats at all stages — from students and recent graduates to senior executives and families. The earlier you get the basics right, the less catching up you'll need to do later.
Book directly or drop me a message. I respond within 24 hours — personally, not via an assistant.
