Strategy & Operations Intern

About Limetax

Limetax is building the operating system for the €20B German tax advisory industry. We acquire established tax firms and transform them into high-performing, technology-enabled businesses. We combine proprietary software, streamlined operations, and a strong group infrastructure to unlock value that traditional firm owners can't access alone.

Our founding team brings together backgrounds in investment banking, venture building, and applied AI. We're a small, fast-moving team backed by top-tier investors. Our mandate is clear: acquire firms, make them measurably better through technology, and scale. Every person we hire has real ownership and direct impact on outcomes.

The Role

This is a min. 3-month internship working directly with the COO across the operational core of the business. The work is broad by nature but with a clear goal: Integrate newly acquired firms to the Limetax platform and support them to thrive. One week you might be helping set up the reporting infrastructure for a newly integrated firm, the next you're building a process that didn't exist before.

You'll be given real problems and expected to figure out how to solve them.

What You'll Work On

• Portfolio operations and firm integration. Supporting the onboarding and integration of newly acquired firms from tool implementation to process harmonization.

• Process building and automation. Identifying manual, fragmented workflows and helping fix them at the root. You're comfortable getting into the tools to make it happen.

• Reporting and controlling. Helping build and maintain the reporting infrastructure that keeps the group running.

Who You Are

You're a student in the final stages of your degree or a recent graduate, ideally with some exposure to consulting, a startup, or a fast-paced operational environment. The specific background matters less than your drive and the quality of your thinking. Excellent German and English is a must.

You think in structures. When faced with a messy problem, you frame it before you solve it. Your work is precise, well-reasoned, and something you'd put your name on.

You have a bias to action. You'd rather get something working and improve it than wait for the perfect plan. You pick up new tools and contexts quickly and don't need hand-holding to get started.

You take full ownership. You see what needs to happen, you make it happen, and you follow through. You don't leave things half-done.

Why Limetax

• A small team of people who set a high bar for themselves and each other. You'll be pushed and you'll learn fast.

• High trust and real ownership. You won't be handed busywork — you'll do real work that feeds into real decisions.

• Work that compounds. You're helping build the infrastructure for an industry that is fundamentally changing, and what you contribute here will still matter in ten years.
