Limetax Raises €36 Million to Build Germany’s Agentic-First Accounting & Tax Group

Limetax, a Berlin-based technology company bringing established tax firms together in one group and building a proprietary AI agent platform for them, led by Christoph Gamon, Christoph Dansard, and Maximilian Meyer, has raised €36 million in financing, comprising €6 million in pre-seed equity led by Motive Partners, with participation from Activant and Heliad, and a €30 million acquisition facility from a consortium of German banks. Angel investors include former German Finance Minister Christian Lindner, former Rocket Internet executive and 468 Capital co-founder Alexander Kudlich, as well as Anton Rummel and Ante Spittler, founders of fintech unicorn Moss. The capital will be used to further develop Limetax’s agentic platform and partner with additional tax firms across Germany.

Eight months after launching in January 2026, Limetax has grown to four firms across seven locations, with around 150 employees and annualised revenue in the double-digit millions. Its AI platform is now deployed across the entire group.

Tackling the Structural Constraints of the Tax Profession.

Germany’s nearly 54,000 accounting and tax firms are the backbone of the Mittelstand, but face growing talent shortages and increasingly complex regulation. Much of their capacity is still consumed by repetitive tasks such as data collection, bookkeeping and deadline management, leaving less time for advisory work.

Limetax addresses this constraint by bringing established tax firms together and embedding its proprietary agentic AI platform into their daily operations. Built on DATEV, the platform deploys specialised AI agents across bookkeeping, payroll and financial statements, with human professionals reviewing outputs and retaining responsibility for client advice.

Early deployments show the potential: AI agents have reduced monthly bookkeeping processing time in initial cases from around 20 hours to six. The result is greater capacity for firms, faster financial reporting for clients, and more time for the advisory work that requires human expertise.

Built by Entrepreneurs, Engineers and Experts.

Limetax was founded by Christoph Gamon, Maximilian Meyer and Christoph Dansard. Gamon previously co-founded Razor Group and served as CFO, while Meyer was part of its founding team and later led more than 100 employees as SVP Operations. Dansard was a founding engineer at fintech unicorn Augustus, formerly Ivy, and is an alumnus of Technical University Munich.

The Berlin-based team combines experienced engineers and operators with backgrounds at Taxfix, McKinsey, EY, Buena, Raisin, and ETL.

“The future of accounting & tax advisory will not be built by adding another AI tool. It will be built by rethinking advisory and technology together from the ground up,” said Christoph Gamon, Co-Founder and CEO of Limetax. “That is what we are doing at Limetax. Together with our partner firms, we are building a group where our agentic platform becomes the technological backbone of day-to-day work. That creates more space for the things people do best: applying judgement, solving complex problems and providing real advice.”

“Professional services is one of the largest sectors where the potential of AI is only beginning to be unlocked. In accounting & tax, the constraint is not demand, it is capacity,” said Michael Hock, Partner, Venture at Motive Partners. “Limetax is building technology where the work actually happens: together with the partner firms and deeply embedded in their operations. The combination of technology and professional expertise has the potential to build a new generation of accounting & tax firms.”

“Our profession is going through the biggest shift I have seen in my career. The opportunity is enormous, but for an individual firm, building the technology required to capture it is almost impossible,” said Uwe Tille of bplus, one of the founding partners of the Limetax group. “With Limetax, we can actively shape that transition ourselves. Technology is taking more and more routine work off our hands and giving us more time with our clients. That is where we, as tax advisers, want to spend our time.”
