TaxTechs are still safe from AI for a long time - thanks to bureaucracy (🇩🇪)
This article from Haufe's Stefan Heine suggests that while AI will become increasingly integrated into the TaxTech field, the complexity and individual nature of tax laws will probably prevent it from fully replacing human expertise in the foreseeable future.
Beyond Germany
This week, I want to inform you about Dutch (🇳🇱) Taxdoo competitor Staxxer and Hnry, a startup from New Zealand (🇳🇿) that offers the full tax package to sole traders. Plus, Austrian (🇦🇹) startup Bookkeepr received a six-digit funding to expand in the local market and to ramp up their AI efforts.
Staxxer is a Nijmegen-based (Dutch community near the German border) VAT compliancy startup: "VAT compliancy for online sellers. Software driven, human centered." is how they describe themselves.
With a team of about 15 humans, more than 400 customers and a funding of one million euro received at the beginning of 2023, Staxxer seems to be all set to tackle the complex topic of VAT compliancy in Europe.
Hnry however is something completely different. Hnry is based in Wellington, New Zealand on the other side of the world, promising their customers to never think about taxes again.
Closely resembling to what in Europe Kontist's tax service is offering, Hnrysecured a Series B funding of 35.000.000,00 NZD (ca. 20.000.00,00 €) in January 2023.
Bookkeepr, a young Austrian accounting and tax startup, just received short-term financial freedom. See this weeks article here.
TaxTech Jobs
There continues to be lots of opportunities out there. Be it in Germany, the Netherlands or Austria. We present you the following tax, product and tech jobs:
Candis is looking for a Subject Matter Expert (Accounting) to support their Demand Generation team.
Bookkeepr is in need of a Junior Flutter Developer in Austria.
KPMG needs the tax advisor of the future at the intersection of Tax and Tech. What would fit this newsletter better?
Steuerbot is on the hunt, too! They would want to expand their support team with a Steuerfachangestellte/n.
And finally, steuermachen is in need for more smart product people, awaiting a (Junior) Product Manager.
The full overview of our job board with many more jobs is available here:
