Limetax raises €36M to build AI-powered tax firm group
Berlin-based Limetax has secured €36 million in funding to consolidate and digitize Germany's fragmented tax advisory market. The financing consists of €6 million in pre-seed equity led by Motive Partners, with participation from Activant and Heliad, and a €30 million credit facility from a consortium of German banks. Individual investors include former German Finance Minister Christian Lindner and co-founders of FinTech unicorn Moss. The company's proprietary agentic AI platform, which runs on DATEV, automates bookkeeping, payroll, and financial statement tasks, cutting processing time significantly. Launched in January 2026, Limetax has already acquired four firms and employs around 150 people. The funding will accelerate platform development and further acquisitions.
