Team of Neunundvierzig Honorarberatung

When it comes to our team, we disagree that growth is an end in itself. So we didn't take the decision to expand our team beyond our two founders lightly. We have strong convictions and high expectations, as do our clients, and finding people who fit wasn't easy. But we did it. Read more about the new additions to our team below.

Team of Neunundvierzig Fee-Only Advisors






Simone Zollner, Financial Planner at Neunundvierzig Honorarberatung

Simone Zollner financial planner at Neunundvierzig Fee-Only Advisors

I am a qualified banking specialist, financial consultant and certified financial planner. Initially I worked in wealth management and business client advisory at a major bank, before spending almost ten years developing strategy concepts for wealthy private clients at a small private bank. Since June 2021 I've been working three days a week at Neunundvierzig as a Financial Planner. In my free time I love getting out into the countryside with my dog and travelling around Europe in my campervan.



Why I work for Neunundvierzig

In my previous jobs, a time always came when I was no longer able to provide objective advice to my clients, with their best interests at heart. That was the moment I knew I had to leave. Offering truly independent advice was, and still is, the most important thing to me in my professional life. At Neunundvierzig I can finally work without any conflicts of interest or sales targets. I can give unbiased advice, I am free to be curious about my clients and I work exclusively with friendly people. The job also gives me a lot of freedom in my personal life: I can organize my time however I like and work from wherever I want to – as long as there's a good Internet connection!







Karsten Klee, Fee-Only Advisor at Neunundvierzig Honorarberatung

Karsten Klee fee only advisor in Munich

I am a trained industrial clerk with a Bachelor's in Economics. After starting out in networking marketing, I worked for two years at a family-run asset management company setting up a robo-advisor. While studying at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich I set up my own small, fee-based advisory business. I joined Neunundvierzig in June 2020 as a Junior Advisor and I am currently doing a Master's in Finance alongside my work. Outside work I enjoy comedy, inline skating and skiing.



Why I joined Neunundvierzig

The world of finance has always fascinated me – even when I was young I hoped that one day I would be advising others on how to manage their assets. There are not many other areas, except for health, that have such a big influence on quality of life. And where else can you get so involved in people's lives? I strongly believe in one key principles: you should charge a transparent fee for advice - commissons are an absolute no go. At Neunundvierzig I met Stefan Heringer and Nikolaus Braun, who have been following those two principles in their professional practice for more than a decade. I'm proud to be a part of their team.







Tim Juling, Fee-Only Advisor at Neunundvierzig Honorarberatung

Tim Juling Neunundvierzig Honorarberatung

I am a financial economist and have a Master's degree from Maastricht University with a focus on asset pricing. After my studies, I worked for six years as part of an international team as a management consultant for institutional investors in Amsterdam, London and Munich.

I joined the team at Neunundvierzig as a fee-based consultant in July 2022. In my spare time I enjoy reading books, sailing on the beautiful lakes around Munich in the summer and hiking.



Why I joined Neunundvierzig

I met Nikolaus Braun and Stefan Heringer in 2014 as an intern at their former employer. It was refreshing to see that financial advice can also work independently and without conflicts of interest. When I moved back to Munich in 2018, I followed the development of Neunundvierzig Honorarberatung more closely. I quickly realised that this was the best place to implement my idea of needs-based, independent financial advice. I am delighted to be part of the team.







Michaela Urban, Honorarberaterin bei 49 Honorarberatung

Ich bin ausgebildete Bankkaufrau mit einem Bachelor in Bank- und Finanzmanagement sowie zwei Masterabschlüssen in Management & Finance und Internationaler BWL. Nach einigen Jahren in der Bankenwelt und bei einem internationalen Großkonzern habe ich mit 27 einen kompletten Neuanfang gewagt und war acht Jahre als Reisejournalistin weltweit von Sumatra bis Französisch-Polynesien unterwegs. Nicht zuletzt wegen meiner kleinen Tochter bin ich wieder sesshaft geworden und verstärke seit Februar 2025 die Neunundvierzig als Honorarberaterin.

Privat findet man mich aktiv in den Bergen und an den Seen meiner oberbayerischen Heimat, wobei ich dank meines abenteuerlustigen Kindes weiterhin gerne und regelmäßig auch exotische Reiseziele erkunde.



Warum ich bei der Neunundvierzig Honorarberatung arbeite

Während der Mutterzeit habe ich einmal mehr realisiert, wie wichtig ein gutes finanzielles Fundament ist — besonders für Frauen. In mir wuchs der Wunsch, mein Wissen und meine Lebenserfahrung in diesem Bereich zu teilen. Da ich Menschen beraten, aber keine Produkte verkaufen wollte, war es nicht ganz einfach, einen geeigneten Arbeitgeber zu finden. Als ich dann auf die Neunundvierzig stieß, merkte ich bereits am Außenauftritt, dass das ein Perfect Match sein könnte. Nachdem ich die Teammitglieder im Februar 2025 vor Ort kennenlernen durfte, wusste ich, dass sowohl meine als auch ihre Wertvorstellungen übereinstimmen und dass ich mich hier wohlfühlen und mich entfalten können würde.







Niclas Becker, Honorarberater bei 49 Honorarberatung

Ich bin Volks- und Betriebswirt. Nach meinen beiden Bachelorstudiengängen in Volkswirtschafts- und Betriebswirtschaftslehre habe ich einen Master in Banking and Finance an der Universität Wien abgeschlossen. Bereits während meines Studiums konnte ich praktische Erfahrungen in den Bereichen Management Consulting und M&A sowie im Vertrieb sammeln. Seit Mai 2025 unterstütze ich die Neunundvierzig Honorarberatung als Berater.

Privat spiele ich seit meiner Kindheit begeistert Fußball und Tennis – und sobald der erste Schnee fällt, zieht es mich auf die Skipiste. Außerdem reise ich leidenschaftlich gern und entdecke neue Länder und Kulturen.



Warum ich mich entschieden habe, Teil der Neunundvierzig zu werden

2019 habe ich Nikolaus Braun und Stefan Heringer im Zuge eines Praktikums kennengelernt. Die Neunundvierzig war zu diesem Zeitpunkt noch ein Start-Up, das nur aus den beiden Gründern bestand. Schon damals hat mich der unabhängige, evidenzbasierte Beratungsansatz fasziniert. Nach meinem Studium stand ich vor der Entscheidung: große Privatbank oder Neunundvierzig. Die ausschlaggebende Frage, die ich mir gestellt habe, war, welchen Ansatz ich Freunden und Familie empfehlen würde. Im Nachhinein bin ich sehr glücklich über meine Wahl – und darüber, jeden Morgen mit einem guten Gewissen zur Arbeit gehen zu können.







Nicole Ebentheurer, Assistant to the Management at Neunundvierzig Honorarberatung

Nicole Ebentheurer Neunundvierzig Honorarberatung

I am a banker and 18 years ago I completed a traditional banking apprenticeship at a cooperative bank. I worked in various areas, from the counter to the credit department and marketing. I then moved to a small fee-based advisory bank whose philosophy I liked so much that I didn't want to turn my back on the banking world. After five years of parental leave, I returned to work in September 2022 and support Neunundvierzig on a part-time basis as an assistant to the management.

In my private life I manage a small family business around our three children, my husband, house and garden.



Why I work for Neunundvierzig

I have always found the philosophy of fee-based financial advice very convincing. What's more: I worked in a team with Stefan Heringer and Nikolaus Braun for five years before taking parental leave. So when they asked me if I wanted to join Neunundvierzig, I didn't have to think twice. Everything comes together here: Humanity, honesty, fun and trust. And I can organise my working hours as flexibly as I like, at my own discretion.







Milena Musial, Service Advisor at Neunundvierzig Honorarberatung

Milena Musial Serviceberaterin bei Neunundvierzig Honorarberatung

During my school years I developed a strong interest in finance and economics, which led me to train as a bank clerk after completing my vocational baccalaureate. It was there that I gained my first experience of advising clients. After my training, I worked for six years as a private client advisor at a major bank, advising clients on investments, loans and pension products. In September 2023, I started a part-time degree in business administration with a focus on finance to deepen my knowledge.

As a native of Munich, I enjoy skiing, hiking and relaxing in the mountains and lakes around my hometown.



Why I joined Neunundvierzig

In principle, I really enjoyed working with clients at the big banks. However, I was often unable to fulfill the individual wishes of my clients as sales targets and closing appointments took priority. That's why I was looking for a new challenge where I could provide independent, client-focused advice without the pressure to sell.

Since July 2024, I have been working as a service consultant at Neunundvierzig, assisting our clients in all administrative and technical matters. I enjoy working directly with the founding team and am delighted to be on board.







Samuel Bauch, Service Advisor at Neunundvierzig Honorarberatung

Samuel Bauch, Serviceberater bei Neunundvierzig Honorarberatung

I started my training as a banker in 2017, after which I worked in the back office of a small private bank in Munich. There I was mainly responsible for opening accounts and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements. Since June 2024, I have been supporting Neunundvierzig Honorarberatung in the back office and am available to our clients as a service advisor for all administrative matters.

In my private life, I spend a lot of time outdoors in nature and pursue a variety of hobbies - from sports to creative work such as photography.



Why I work for Neunundvierzig

From an early age I was fascinated by the world of finance – a world without obvious, universally binding solutions, but with an enormous influence on our well-being. A world that has much more to do with our behavior and feelings than with mathematical formulae and rationality. I am proud to be able to contribute to providing advice to our clients on the basis of a transparent fee, thereby creating real added value. This allows me to carry out my duties without constraints or conflicts of interest, which also gives me a great deal of autonomy and freedom in the way I work.







Marius Oberberger, Werkstudent bei 49 Honorarberatung

Ich habe Geschichte und Politikwissenschaft an der LMU studiert – inklusive Auslandssemester in Tel Aviv und Montréal – und verfasse gerade meine Masterarbeit zur extremen Rechten in den 1970er-Jahren. Im Jahr 2023 habe ich die Neunundvierzig durch ein Praktikum kennengelernt.

Seit 2024 bin ich als Werkstudent für Strategische Kommunikation, Webdesign und Content-Entwicklung zuständig und werde ab Frühjahr 2026 die Neunundvierzig als fester Mitarbeiter verstärken.

In meiner freien Zeit engagiere ich mich in unterschiedlichen Vereinen, gehe wandern, lese Bücher aus unterschiedlichen Fachbereichen und koche gern. Zudem bin ich in der politischen Bildung und Erinnerungskultur aktiv, wo ich mein Studium mit pädagogischer Arbeit verbinde.



Was ich als Historiker bei der Neunundvierzig mitbringe

Ehrlicherweise hätte ich mir nicht vorstellen können, einmal im Finanzbereich zu arbeiten. Doch der ganzheitliche Beratungsansatz sowie das offene und innovative Arbeitsumfeld erinnern mich immer wieder daran, dass es bei Finanzen nicht allein um Zahlen geht, sondern um Menschen, ihre Geschichten sowie Fragen nach Werten und Sinn.

Als fachlicher Quereinsteiger freue ich mich, meine geisteswissenschaftliche Perspektive in Beratungsprozesse und Kommunikation einzubringen und den ganzheitlichen Ansatz der Neunundvierzig zu bereichern.
