Job description
We are building the tax firm of the future
Radically simple. Highly automated. 100% client-focused.
We are rethinking tax consulting completely: simple, fast, and transparent for both clients and the firm's team.
Where other firms struggle with manual processes, long waiting times, and opaque 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 themselves – allowing the team to focus on what truly matters: review, special cases, and smart solutions.
The difference from other "digital firms": Over half of our team consists of software developers. Your colleagues build the tools that genuinely help you in your daily client work – tailored to your problems, not off-the-shelf.
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 Germany's leading tax firms.
Your Role
As an Intern in the Tax Team, you will work at the heart of operational and technical tax consulting – on real client cases, not examples. You will support our tax advisors along the entire value chain: from ongoing bookkeeping and preparing tax returns to technical research.
Because Tech and Tax work together here, you will be close to where manual work becomes automation. You won't just experience how a modern tax firm operates, but you will actively help improve its processes. An internship at Skalar is an opportunity to see in a short time how tax consulting will work in the future – and to learn from an ambitious team.
Your Tasks
Operational Support
Preparation of financial accounting: document processing, account assignment, account reconciliation (DATEV)
Support in the digital mail and notice processing by deadline control and smart document classification
Simple assistance with tax returns and advance notifications (income tax, business taxes) at the draft level; you will receive feedback and can develop new skills
Preparation of annual financial statement packages and business reports
Client & Process Support
Structured client communication (requesting documents, follow-ups)
Maintenance of client master data and support in deadline control
Tech & Automation
Testing and documenting internal tools and workflows
Contributing to the automation of recurring tasks (e.g., document classification, data extraction, interfaces)
Data preparation and simple analysis
What You Bring
Studies with a focus on tax or business administration
Basic understanding of bookkeeping and German tax law
Proficient in Excel; initial experience with DATEV is an advantage
Carefulness and precision – every detail counts with us
Structured, independent working style
Fluent German; English is an advantage depending on client structure
High affinity for tools; ideally, initial exposure to automation or scripting (Python, APIs, No-Code)
Nice to have: genuine interest in process optimization and digitalization beyond the pure technical task
Enthusiasm to work in an early-stage team with a high degree of personal responsibility – without fully established processes, but with real scope for design
Benefits
🎯 Creative Freedom & Impact
🤝 Cross-functional Collaboration
🚀 Ownership from Day 1 – Actively build the future of the $1 billion Tax & Accounting industry
🧠 Steep Learning Curve – Work side-by-side with the smartest and most ambitious minds in Europe
👥 Smart, Ambitious & Fun Team – Direct collaboration with an experienced founding team (Exit track record €140 million), regular team events, lunches, and more – global ambition in the heart of Munich
🛠️ Modern Tech Setup - Digital processes, clear structures, less deadline pressure
💰 Competitive Salary Package + options on company shares
📍 Office in the heart of Munich, excellently connected
