TWO.TAX provides English-speaking cross-border tax consulting for individuals, freelancers, creators and businesses whose tax affairs involve Germany and at least one other country. Our clients often live or work in Germany while receiving foreign income, holding international investments or pensions, operating overseas companies, owning property abroad or remaining subject to filing obligations in another jurisdiction. We help coordinate these matters so that German and foreign tax positions are reviewed together rather than in isolation. Typical assignments include German tax returns, US tax reporting for American citizens and Green Card holders in Germany, UK, Canadian, Spanish and Italian cross-border matters, VAT, freelancer and creator taxation, Künstlersozialkasse matters, Finanzamt correspondence, objections, estimated assessments, visa income documentation and written international tax analyses. TWO.TAX is particularly suitable for deadline-sensitive matters involving several tax years, foreign accounts or entities, authority correspondence, treaty questions or reporting obligations in multiple countries. Clients can work with us remotely throughout Germany, including Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Frankfurt and Cologne. The firm was founded by Dr. Alexander Klaus Gorny, whose doctorate focused on international tax law and double-taxation treaties. He brings 28 years of professional experience to the coordination of complex international tax matters. Every engagement begins with a review of the relevant countries, tax years, documents, deadlines and requested outcome. The responsible entity and professionals, applicable jurisdictions, agreed scope, deliverables and flat fee are confirmed in writing before substantive work begins. Our aim is to provide clear, practical and coordinated advice in English, with transparent responsibilities and a defined result for every engagement.

Alex has helped me file my taxes and understand tax procedures, as a freelance expat in Germany it’s very important for my taxes to be done right and I trust Alex and his team!
I have been using their services for 1 year. They were way more knowledgeable than any other tax advisor I had spoken to in Germany. Specifically, I needed help as an ex-pat who has investments in my home country. They helped me correct errors made by my previous advisor over the past 5 years and made filing my German taxes in 2025 really easy.
I was initially a little skeptical because TWO.TAX has a relatively limited public online presence, but my experience with Alexander has been positive overall.
He prepared and submitted my German income tax return for 2025 extremely quickly — within about a day after I had provided the necessary information. More importantly, the result was very good. The Finanzamt processed the return and I ultimately received a significantly higher refund than I had expected. That gave me a lot of confidence in his tax knowledge and practical experience.
I have since also involved Alexander with my mother’s tax situation, which is considerably more complicated and covers several years. He prepared seven tax returns in a very short time and has been responsive when questions came up. He also took the time to explain the situation with the Finanzamt’s estimated assessments and what would happen once the actual returns were processed.
The main reason I am giving 4 rather than 5 stars is that in the more complex case I sometimes had to ask follow-up questions before I fully understood the tax treatment and the next steps. I would personally appreciate a little more explanation and verification upfront in complicated cases.
Overall, however, Alexander has been very fast, knowledgeable and accessible, and the actual result in my own tax case was excellent. I would use his services again.
Alex was very accessible, responsive and knowledgeable throughout the process. Delivery was as agreed and follow up questions were answered promptly and clearly. He brought confidence and clarity to my situation.
I can't speak highly enough of Alex and Two Tax. In a stressful situation where I was out of my depth, they stepped in and swiftly solved my problem. Not only that, but they are communicative, reassuring and personable – I can't overstate how unusual this is for tax support in Germany.
Best service!! They help me with all my questions and specially Alex, who has advised and helped me with everything since becoming my accountant. I highly recommend their services!! Thank you very much :)
I’ve been using two.tax for a few months as I move my fiscal residency from US to Germany. I was lucky enough that Dr. Alexander had lived both in Florida and Germany, and was able to explain the tax situation in both jurisdictions very clearly. For the first time after wasting loads of time and energy with incompetent money-grabbing American accountants, I believe I found someone I can trust to have my best interests at heart. Hope this relationship remains so. Ethical, humble, and hard working. Highly recommended.
I just started working with Alex and Two.Tax but I’ve been really impressed. I inquired online and set up a call with Alex the next day. He was very personable and helped answer all of my questions, and provided a thorough memorandum to help guide my husband and I for the best tax situation in Germany. I highly recommend them. I feel confident that I’m in good hands.
Very helpful and professional service. They have been helping me with my taxes in Germany and has always taken the time to explain things clearly, especially as a freelancer navigating the German tax system. Communication has been friendly and professional and I really appreciate the support!! I Recommend
I cannot recommend Two.Tax highly enough. Tax advisors are so hard to come by in Germany, and my experiences with the ones I’ve found have been mediocre at best. Two.Tax is too good to be true! I reached out after my own tax advisor stopped responding, and I urgently needed to file my 2025 tax return. I received a personal email from Two.Tax within half an hour and had a video call scheduled for two days later.
The video call was lively and friendly, and all of my concerns and questions were answered.
After agreeing to work with them, I then received an email with instructions the next day, and after turning in my documents, my 2025 tax return was filed within 48 hours. I couldn’t believe it. And I even got a big tax refund.
If you’re looking for a tax advisor, especially if you have dual taxation issues, like I do, get in touch with Two.Tax immediately! I’ll be working with them from here on out for all my tax needs!
I can’t thank Alex and Edith from Two Tax enough for all the support they’ve given me. I was under an incredible amount of stress trying to deal with a mistake I had made on my taxes not knowing that I passed the threshold of being a small business and needing to do my entire books for the year over, and they not only helped me navigate the situation, but also gave me so much reassurance and peace of mind throughout the process.
Their professionalism, patience, and genuine care made such a difficult situation feel manageable. They truly went above and beyond, and I’m so grateful to have had them in my corner. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Alex and Edith to anyone looking for tax advisors who genuinely care about their clients.
I worked with TWO TAX for half of this year. This was my first time working with any accountant and first time with one in Germany, since immigrating. It’s no understatement to say that Alex saved me from 2 massive challenges that could have led to the end of my residency in Germany. During the process, I couldn’t believe it. Once papers started going through the officials, I’ve had nothing but trust and the best of confidence. Alex is personable and kind and available and makes the experience personal. The only constructive awareness I would share is that some details move fast and can change often. Otherwise, what a blessing. Highly trusted and recommended!
I have worked with Two-Tax on several different matters, and the experience has been fantastic. Alexander is very knowledgeable and trustworthy in his advice, which is the most important quality I look for. But compared to other advisors I have worked with he is empathetic, friendly, kind, very responsive, and super helpful. Therefore, when other topics came up where I needed advice I turned to him first. I feel he is trustworthy, will give his honest opinion and will not lead me down the wrong path. I wholeheartedly recommend Two.Tax for matters related to taxes, and other cross-border legal matters.
I tried doing my tax while living in Germany (I’m an Aussie) which included income from Australia which was made up of shares and investment dividends. Stuff I don’t understand, and also my income from Germany. There is all sorts of tax agreements, rules, regulations and well it is Germany so loads of bureaucracy. I tried to do it online with a tax agent but they rejected it and gave up, it was too difficult. I came across two tax after some research and organised an online call, submitted the requested documents from Australia and Germany and it was done in a few days. Could not have been easier. Will definitely be using them for my next few returns while I’m here.
Two Tax has been on my side since our introduction and they really care. I was facing some very serious tax debt and previous companies were no help and only interested in billing me. Two Tax took the time to analyze my situation and use the law along with superb forensic skills to settle the situation in my favor against long odds. They summarize documents or if you want you can get a detailed explanation with projected outcomes, probable solutions and strategies. I’m really pleased.
Great quick and simple experience with them. No question is too much nor is any supporting document. They do diligent work and details are what they specialise in.
I've just begun working with Two.Tax, but I already had a positive feeling based on recommendations I got from others to contact them. This recommendation was especially regarding because I'm dealing with U.S. and German Tax systems. During my initial phone consultation with Alex, he was able to alleviate some of my fears immediately and I could see a way forward that was not too daunting. I'm about to get them all the documentation they requested to move forward working with them, and hopefully this will get me squared on Taxes and my Visa renewal!
It's likely I'll write another review in the future as I work with them more.
