The Story Behind Soliprax
Built on fifteen years of real client relationships and a simple belief that financial planning works best when it's genuinely personal
How We Started
Back in 2010, I was working at a large financial firm where every client meeting felt like the same script. People would come in with real concerns about their retirement or their children's education, and we'd hand them the same standardized portfolio recommendations.
The turning point came when a client told me, "I don't feel like you actually know what keeps me awake at night." She was right. That conversation led me to leave and start Soliprax with a different approach.
We built our practice around longer conversations, fewer clients, and solutions that actually match how people live their lives. Sometimes that means unconventional strategies, but it always means starting with your actual situation instead of our preferred products.
What We Do Differently
Our approach comes from years of seeing what actually works in real client situations, not from textbook theories
Tax-First Planning
Most planners think about investments first, taxes second. We've found that starting with tax strategy often opens up options that completely change the game. Especially with Germany's complex tax landscape, this can save you significant amounts over time.
Multi-Generational Thinking
Your financial plan should consider how your decisions affect your children and potentially grandchildren. We help structure strategies that work across generations, particularly important for families with assets in multiple countries.
Behavioral Reality Check
The best plan is worthless if you won't actually follow it. We spend time understanding how you make financial decisions under stress, then build strategies that work with your personality, not against it.
Independent Analysis
We don't sell products, which means our recommendations aren't influenced by commissions. When we suggest a specific investment or insurance product, it's because it genuinely fits your situation, not because it pays us more.
The People Behind Your Planning
We keep our team small intentionally. When you work with Soliprax, you'll know exactly who's handling your planning and why they make the recommendations they do.
