In Germany, there is a shortage of tens of thousands of workers for this job, and the pay goes up to 7,700 euros a month

In Germany, there is a significant shortage of qualified tax advisors, leading to increased demand for their services as more citizens seek professional help with tax filings. The profession has become increasingly attractive due to high salaries, with experienced tax advisors earning up to €73,500 annually. According to reports, around 14,000 professionals were missing last year, with some estimates suggesting the gap could reach 25,000. This shortage is driven by the complexity of the German tax system, which encourages many taxpayers to hire advisors. Additionally, the role extends beyond preparing tax returns, involving business succession planning, financing, and investment advice. While self-employed tax advisors make up nearly two-thirds of the workforce, their availability varies significantly across regions, with higher concentrations in wealthier areas like Düsseldorf compared to less affluent cities such as Salzgitter.
