The funding includes a €6 million pre-seed equity round led by Motive Partners, alongside a €30 million credit facility from German banks to acquire more tax advisory businesses. LimeTax aims to consolidate Germany's fragmented tax market and deploy its AI platform across its expanding portfolio of firms. The startup has already integrated AI into the workflows of 4 firms across 7 locations, employing around 150 people and generating revenues in the double-digit millions. LimeTax operates by purchasing profitable local tax firms, preserving their brand and client relationships, and embedding its AI platform on top of the widely-used DATEV software utilized by 90% of German accountants. The company's AI agents handle data collection, entry, and initial analysis, allowing human accountants to focus on advising clients. Founder Christoph Gamon envisions the future of accounting and tax advisory as one that \"rethinks advisory and technology together from the ground up,\" with AI streamlining routine tasks while preserving professional responsibility.",
