LimeTax Raises €36 Million to Consolidate German Tax Firms With AI

LimeTax says it will use the money to speed up consolidation of Germany's tax advisory sector and to deploy its AI platform across partner firms. Its model involves buying profitable local practices while letting them retain their own brands and client relationships, and then integrating an AI system into their workflow. According to Ventureburn, the platform runs on top of DATEV, software used by around 90% of German accountants, and coordinates AI agents across tasks such as bookkeeping and payroll.

The company has expanded to four firms across seven locations, employs roughly 150 people, and has reached annual revenue in the double-digit millions, per Ventureburn. EU-Startups reported that Germany has close to 54,000 tax and accounting firms.

LimeTax was founded by Christoph Gamon, Maximilian Meyer and Christoph Dansard, and launched in January 2026. Before LimeTax, Gamon co-founded the e-commerce group Razor Group and served as its CFO, and had earlier worked at Rocket Internet and in UBS's London investment banking division, according to EU-Startups.
