The story

Founded 2018 as an RWTH Aachen spin-off automating German tax-advisory workflows, Taxy.io has evolved from an MVP into a vertical AI platform for tax advisors and legal professionals. The company has deepened partnerships with German tax publishers (Otto Schmidt, Behr's, Wolters Kluwer/Addison) and now ships an LLM-backed workspace, an MCP connector for third-party AI assistants, and specialised calculators (Schenken & Vererben). The strategic direction is to become the central information hub for digital tax intelligence in Germany, embedded both in advisor workflows and third-party CRM/accounting software.
