Question 1

Why should a German expat use a German tax advisor in the US?

Accepted Answer

German citizens in the US face dual filing obligations: US returns plus, in many cases, a German Steuererklärung — even after moving. A German-affiliated tax advisor in the US understands both systems, the US-Germany tax treaty, FATCA reporting (Form 8938, FBAR), Anlage AUS for foreign income, and exit-tax (Wegzugsbesteuerung) implications. This dual fluency is rare among standard US CPAs.

Question 2

How do I find a German Accounting & Tax business near me in the US?

Accepted Answer

Use the search bar at the top of this page to filter Accounting & Tax businesses by city, state, or ZIP code. Every listing on DeutscheUnternehmen.com is a German-owned or German-affiliated business operating in the United States, manually reviewed before going live.

Question 3

What makes a Accounting & Tax business "German" on this directory?

Accepted Answer

A business qualifies as German if it is either (a) a US subsidiary, branch, or franchise of a German company, or (b) a US-based business where at least one owner holds German citizenship or is of German origin. We verify this manually for every submission.

Question 4

Are listings on DeutscheUnternehmen.com reviewed?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every business listing is manually reviewed by our editorial team before it goes live, typically within 24 hours of submission. We check eligibility (German connection), completeness, and basic plausibility from public information before approving.

Question 5

Is it free to list a German Accounting & Tax business?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All listings on DeutscheUnternehmen.com are currently free, with no paid placement option. The site is operated independently and there is no commercial path to influence approval, accuracy, or presentation of a listing.

Question 6

Do German Accounting & Tax businesses in the US speak German?

Accepted Answer

Most do, at least at the owner level — being able to serve German-speaking clients is part of why these businesses exist. Many staff are also German speakers, especially at expat-focused practices in cities with strong German communities (New York, Chicago, Miami, Los Angeles, Boston, Atlanta, Houston, San Francisco). If German-language service matters to you, look for "German-speaking" or "deutschsprachig" in the listing description, or contact the business directly to confirm.

Question 7

How is this directory different from Google Maps for German Accounting & Tax businesses?

Accepted Answer

Google Maps shows every business in a category, regardless of any German connection. DeutscheUnternehmen.com only lists businesses with a verified German connection — either a US subsidiary of a German company, or a US-based business with at least one owner of German citizenship or origin. We also organize listings around the bilingual cross-border use case (filters for state, city, and category specific to German expat needs) instead of being a general-purpose mapping service.

Question 8

Can I leave a review for a German Accounting & Tax business?

Accepted Answer

Reviews and ratings are not yet enabled site-wide. When the review feature launches, only verified DeutscheUnternehmen.com account holders will be able to leave reviews, with editorial moderation to filter spam and competitor reviews. In the meantime, business detail pages may aggregate ratings from third-party sources where available.

Question 9

What if a German Accounting & Tax business I am looking for is not yet listed?

Accepted Answer

You can submit a listing on its behalf via the "List Your Business" link in the header — anyone can submit a listing, not just the owner. After approval, the business owner can claim the listing through the "Claim this listing" button on the detail page. We then transfer control to them. This is a common path: about 25% of our listings start as third-party submissions and get claimed by the owner later.

Question 10

How current is the information on DeutscheUnternehmen.com?

Accepted Answer

Each listing shows a "Last updated" timestamp on its detail page. Claimed listings are typically updated by the owner whenever business details change (new address, phone, website, hours). Unclaimed listings are reviewed by the editorial team periodically and on user-submitted corrections. Submit a correction via the "Suggest a correction" link on any listing if you spot stale information — typically applied within 48 hours.
