About Limetax
Limetax is building the agentic-first accounting and tax group for German SMEs.
We acquire established accounting and tax advisory firms and onboard them to our proprietary agentic platform, combining deep industry expertise with AI-native technology.
Backed by $40m in equity and debt from top-tier investors, we're building and scaling a new kind of accounting & tax group in Germany.
Our founders bring significant experience across M&A, operations, and AI-native technology, having previously built and scaled unicorns, Razor Group and Augustus.

The Role
As a Founders’ Associate, you'll report directly to the founders and work from our Berlin HQ at the center of the topics that shape Limetax.
You'll own projects end to end across M&A, fundraising, strategy, finance, and the operating playbook for our group. You'll move between analyzing a problem, developing a recommendation, and driving it through execution.
The scope is intentionally broad and will evolve with the priorities of the company.

What You'll Work On
M&A. Work on live acquisition processes, from evaluating opportunities and building the investment case to due diligence and transaction execution.

Fundraising & Investors. Support financing processes and investor-related topics through analysis, preparation, and execution alongside the founders.

Strategy. Own high-priority strategic questions and turn complex or incomplete information into clear recommendations and actions.

Finance & Accounting. Work on high-priority finance and accounting topics across Limetax and our growing group.

Operating Playbook. Help develop the processes and structures we use to integrate acquired firms and scale the group.

Founder-led Projects. Take ownership of high-priority topics that cut across teams or don't have a natural owner yet, and drive them through to an outcome.

Your Profile
Initial experience in top-tier investment banking, strategy consulting, private equity, or a high-growth startup.

Strong analytical and structured thinking, with the ability to make decisions even when information is incomplete.

High ownership and the ability to take a project from an open question through analysis and execution to a clear outcome.

Comfortable operating in a high-stakes, high-intensity environment with changing priorities.

Entrepreneurial mindset and genuine interest in building and scaling a company.

Professional German is mandatory.

Available to start ASAP.

Why Limetax
Direct founder exposure. Report directly to the founders and work on the company's highest-priority topics.

End-to-end ownership. Take projects from an open question through analysis and execution to a measurable outcome.

Broad scope. Work across M&A, fundraising, strategy, finance, and operations rather than being confined to one function.

Build at an early stage. Help shape the structures and playbooks that will define how Limetax scales.

Clear path to leadership. Take on increasing responsibility as the group grows.

Meaningful upside. Competitive cash compensation plus meaningful equity.
