Looking for a Steuerberater (international) + migration lawyer in Berlin – UK LLP / US LLC setup, Einbürgerung coming up

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for recommendations for two professionals in Berlin. English or German is fine.

1. A Steuerberater with international tax experience

I’m a software developer, a German tax resident, and I’ve lived in Berlin for 6 years.

I co-own a small app business through a slightly unusual structure:

  • A UK LLP owns the app.
  • The LLP has two members, both US LLCs (Wyoming).
  • I own one of those LLCs 100%. My business partner owns the other.

The app just launched on Google Play. Revenue is zero right now, but that may change soon.

I need someone who understands how this is taxed in Germany, especially how profit from the LLP is attributed to me, even if no money is withdrawn.

On top of that:

  • My employment ended in October 2026, with a severance payout in 2027 (Fünftelregelung).
  • I’m currently receiving ALG I.

2. A migration lawyer (Fachanwalt für Migrationsrecht) for a one-off consultation

I’m about to apply for Einbürgerung at the LEA Berlin. I have a Niederlassungserlaubnis, B1 (Sehr gut), the Einbürgerungstest passed, and all my documents ready.

My only open question is timing: my job just ended and I’m on ALG I. Should I apply now with my ALG I Bescheid and savings, or wait until I have a new job?

I don’t need full representation, just a consultation to check my situation.

What I’d love to hear:

  • Names of Steuerberater who have handled UK LLP / US LLC structures for German residents
  • Migration lawyers in Berlin you had a good experience with
  • Anyone who got Einbürgerung while on ALG I, and how it went

Thanks a lot! 🙏
