Getting Started
How do I schedule my first consultation?

What documents should I prepare for the first meeting?
To make the most of our initial session, please gather the following documents if available:
- Recent bank statements (checking and savings)
- Last three pay slips or proof of income
- Current tax returns
- Details of existing debts (mortgages, loans, credit cards)
- Current investment or pension statements
Is the initial consultation free?
Yes, we offer a complimentary 30-minute discovery call. This allows us to understand your financial situation and goals, and for you to determine if our services are the right fit for your needs.
Services & Strategy
Do you provide investment advice?
While we focus heavily on budget planning, cash flow management, and financial literacy, we do provide general investment strategy guidance. For specific security selection or portfolio management, we partner with certified investment advisors.
Can you help me plan for retirement?
Absolutely. Retirement planning is a core component of our long-term financial strategies. We help you estimate your retirement needs, optimize your savings rate, and choose the right pension vehicles to ensure financial security in your later years.
Do you work with expats living in Frankfurt?
Yes, we have significant experience assisting expats. We understand the unique challenges of managing finances across borders, including currency considerations, tax implications in different jurisdictions, and understanding the German banking system.
Fees & Logistics
How are your fees structured?
We operate on a transparent fee structure. Depending on the engagement type, we may charge:
- Flat Project Fee: For specific deliverables like a comprehensive budget plan.
- Monthly Retainer: For ongoing financial coaching and accountability check-ins.
- Hourly Rate: For ad-hoc consulting sessions.
We do not earn commissions from product sales, ensuring our advice remains unbiased.
Are consultations available in person or online?
We offer both. You are welcome to visit our Frankfurt office for face-to-face meetings, or we can conduct sessions securely via video conference. This flexibility allows us to serve clients across Germany and internationally.
How often will we review my financial plan?
We recommend reviewing your financial plan at least annually, or whenever you experience a significant life change such as a new job, marriage, the birth of a child, or purchasing a home. Regular reviews ensure your strategy stays aligned with your goals.
