SKALAR – We are building the digital tax firm of the future

Radically simple. Fully digital. 100% client-focused.

We are completely rethinking tax consulting: simpler, faster, and more transparent for both clients and the firm's team.

Where other firms struggle with manual processes, long waiting times, and non-transparent communication, we are building a completely new experience - digital, proactive, AI-supported. With automated processes in the background and digital interfaces to the client, repetitive tasks largely run on their own - so you have time for what really matters: challenging consulting, special cases, and strategic client questions.

The difference from other "digital firms": Over half of our team are software developers. You will directly shape what they build - and thus how AI-supported tax consulting will even look in this industry. Your tax knowledge shapes the product, not just its application.

We are an experienced founding team of tax advisors, digital entrepreneurs, and software developers with an exit track record of €140 million. Together with you, we want to build one of the leading tax firms in Germany.

The role in one sentence

You verify the documents and booking data of our clients, clarify discrepancies directly with them, and ensure that our tax team works on a clean data basis.

To do this, you will work hand in hand with our AI: you will check what it suggests, take over cases it cannot yet handle, and improve it with every case.

You don't need a tax professional qualification for this.

Your Tasks

1. You are the control instance between data and automation

• Our AI reads documents, assigns them to bank transactions, and suggests processing. You check these suggestions: invoice details, tax statement, period, assignment to the client.

• You confirm, correct, or reject.

• You identify where the recognition systematically goes wrong: specific document types, suppliers, foreign currencies, formats.

• You keep an eye on the interfaces and report if a connection fails or delivers the same transactions twice.

2. You take over what the AI cannot yet do

• Unclear payment partners, conflicting assignments, special cases without templates – anything that is not automatically resolved lands with you.

• You research the facts and decide on them within our auditing criteria; anything that requires a tax assessment goes to a licensed professional.

• You document your solution so that it can be automated next time.

The better the automation becomes, the more challenging the cases that land with you. The role doesn't get smaller, but more specialized.

3. You clarify with the clients

• You request missing documents – in writing, specifically, and with a deadline – and follow up on open items until they are resolved, so that the monthly financial statements are ready by the 15th.

• You explain clearly why a document is insufficient and what you need instead.

4. You make the AI better

• With the expert knowledge you build up, you become an important contributor to our product teams.

• Your corrections and the patterns you recognize become rules, prompts, and model adjustments – you develop these together with Engineering and Design.

• You test what has been built on real cases and decide together what will be automated next.

Your Profile

Must-have

• Completed vocational training or university degree – the field is secondary. Career changers are explicitly welcome.

• Analytical thinking: You recognize patterns and deviations in data, draw the right conclusions from individual cases, and can explain why something is incorrect.

• Reliable quality with a high case volume: You work thoroughly, even when the AI is correct in most cases – it's precisely then that exceptions can easily fall through the cracks.

• Interest in AI and automation: You want to understand why a system suggests something, not just what it suggests.

• Proficient in Excel/Google Sheets and digital tools; eagerness to quickly learn new software.

• Clear, friendly written communication in German (C1/C2) – client contact is mainly written.

• Independence and accountability: Remote work only works if commitments are kept.

• Demonstrable desire to develop further towards leadership or client responsibility.

Nice-to-have

• Commercial understanding: You know how a business transaction proceeds from invoice to payment.

• Initial exposure to accounting, bookkeeping, DATEV, or commercial administration.

• Experience from an environment with high data volume (Operations, Backoffice, Support, Fulfillment, Payment).

We do not expect experience in a tax firm or programming skills.

What we offer

🚀 Your improvement suggestions are built – not filed away. Our standard: A clearly described, actionable suggestion is live within eight working hours. This is possible because Engineering, Design, and the Fachbereich (specialist department) work together at the same table.

🤖 You work at the cutting edge of what automation can do in tax consulting – and push its boundaries. Access to current frontier models, modern hardware.

🏡 Completely remote possible. Office in Munich in the heart of the city, if you want it – it's not mandatory.

🎓 Further training, supported both professionally and financially – for example, to become a tax specialist (Steuerfachangestellte:r), certified tax expert (Steuerfachwirt:in), or balance sheet accountant (Bilanzbuchhalter:in).

🤝 Steep learning curve with founders and tech team. Short distances, direct sparring, decisions without hierarchical loops.
