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.
