Workings Student Tax & Finance (f/m/d) - AI Tax Startup

About the role

We are building Germany's leading Tax Advisory firm. Taxforce was founded based on a simple observation: Many business owners want a tax advisor who acts as a true sparring partner: proactive, responsive, and strategic. What they often get instead is a service provider: booking receipts and filing tax returns, with little real advisory. We’re building the alternative. Founded in 2025, Taxforce rethinks tax advisory from the ground up: AI-powered and highly automated, yet personal. We’re starting with healthcare professionals, a complex and underserved segment, with the ambition to expand into many more industries over time. Instead of pure compliance, we deliver real advisory and become long-term partners to our clients: from initial setup to established organizations. This is a €40B market in Germany alone, with processes that have barely changed in decades. AI is now enabling a fundamental shift and there are no playbooks yet. We’re writing them. We’re a small, highly ambitious team in Berlin, backed by €5M from Tenet VC and founded by alumni of Goldman Sachs, Harvard Business School, Bain & Company and the former Klarna Head of Engineering. You’ll work directly with the founders, take on real responsibility from day one, and see how AI transforms a real-world industry. We offer a high-ownership environment, direct feedback and mentoring, a collaborative team, and competitive salary all from our office near Boxhagener Platz. Join early and help us redefine tax advisory. Tasks This is a working student role of around 16 to 20 hours per week, flexible around your studies.
