Investment Team Intern (m/w/d) - AI Roll-up

We are building Germany's leading tax advisory firm. Many business owners want a tax advisor who acts as a true sparring partner: proactive, responsive and strategic. What they often get is a service provider that books receipts and files returns, with little real advice. 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, and we grow both organically and through M&A. This is a €40B market in Germany alone, with processes that have barely changed in decades. AI now enables 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, Y Combinator and the former Klarna Head of Engineering.

You understand P&Ls, balance sheets and cash flows and quickly spot what doesn’t add up. • Analytical mindset. You turn incomplete information into a clear recommendation. • AI-native. You use AI tools to build analyses and models faster. • German language skills. Sellers and banks speak German, so we require fluent German (C2) and English.
