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 Intern – M&A & Strategy, you'll work directly with our founding team on the growth of Limetax.
Your primary focus will be our acquisition activities. You'll contribute to live deal processes across the full investment cycle — from identifying and evaluating potential acquisition targets to financial analysis, due diligence, and transaction preparation.
Beyond M&A, you'll work on selected strategic projects and gain exposure to the broader questions involved in building and scaling Limetax.
What You'll Work On
Evaluate acquisitions. Analyze potential targets, understand their financial performance and business model, build valuation cases, and develop a view on whether we should pursue a deal.
Support live transactions. Work across sourcing, due diligence, and deal execution alongside the founders and investment team.
Work on fundraising. Support financing processes with research, analysis, and investor materials.
Solve strategic questions. Analyze new opportunities, markets, and initiatives and turn incomplete information into clear recommendations.
Build how the group operates. Help develop the processes and structures we use to integrate acquired firms and scale Limetax.
Pick up what matters. Take ownership of high-priority topics that sit between teams or don't yet have a natural owner.
What We're Looking For
Initial experience in top-tier investment banking, strategy consulting, private equity, or a high-growth startup. One relevant internship can be enough.
Strong academic track record and excellent analytical and quantitative skills.
You can structure an ambiguous problem, work with incomplete information, and still arrive at a clear recommendation.
You're comfortable building financial models that others can understand, challenge, and use.
You move fast, care about the details, and take ownership through execution — not just analysis.
You are comfortable using AI tools as part of your day-to-day work.
You have an entrepreneurial mindset and genuine interest in M&A, strategy, and company building.
Professional German and English; German is mandatory.
Why Limetax
Direct founder exposure. Work directly with the founders on decisions that shape the company.
Real ownership. Own meaningful projects and see them through from question to outcome.
Live M&A. Work on real acquisition processes where you become an actual part of the deal team.
Broad exposure. Move between M&A, fundraising, strategy, and operations depending on what matters most.
Build with AI from day one. Work in a company where AI is part of both the product and how we operate.
Potential full-time path. Exceptional performers may have the opportunity to join Limetax permanently after the internship.
