The situation is similarly strained in Zwickau, Marl, Herne, and Wolfsburg. Notably, not a single East German city reaches the national average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"font-inter text-base leading-relaxed mb-4 first-of-type:mt-0 text-black wp-block-paragraph\">At the top of the ranking sits D\u00fcsseldorf with 46 tax advisors per 10,000 residents, followed by Stuttgart with 33 and Munich with around 30. For the self-employed in underserved areas, Accountable founder Tino Keller says this translates to one thing above all: long wait times, limited choice \u2014 and an increasing need to turn to digital alternatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"font-inter text-base leading-relaxed mb-4 first-of-type:mt-0 text-black wp-block-paragraph\">The full article with all the data is available&nbsp;<strong><a class=\"font-inter text-purple underline underline-offset-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.accountable.de\/blog\/steuerberater-mangel\/\">here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"font-inter text-base leading-relaxed mb-4 first-of-type:mt-0 text-black wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-11986","press","type-press","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Tax Advisor shortage in German cities: Where finding one is hardest | Accountable<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Where is finding a tax advisor hardest in Germany?
