You'll contribute to live deal processes across the full investment cycle - from identifying and evaluating potential acquisition targets to financial analysis, due diligence, and transaction preparation.\nBeyond M&A, you'll work on selected strategic projects and gain exposure to the broader questions involved in building and scaling Limetax.\nWhat You'll Work On\nEvaluate acquisitions. Analyze potential targets, understand their financial performance and business model, build valuation cases, and develop a view on whether we should pursue a deal.\n\nSupport live transactions. Work across sourcing, due diligence, and deal execution alongside the founders and investment team.\n\nWork on fundraising. Support financing processes with research, analysis, and investor materials.\n\nSolve strategic questions. Analyze new opportunities, markets, and initiatives and turn incomplete information into clear recommendations.\n\nBuild how the group operates. Help develop the processes and structures we use to integrate acquired firms and scale Limetax.\n\nPick up what matters. Take ownership of high-priority topics that sit between teams or don't yet have a natural owner.\n\nWhat We're Looking For\nInitial experience in top-tier investment banking, strategy consulting, private equity, or a high-growth startup. One relevant internship can be enough.\n\nStrong academic track record and excellent analytical and quantitative skills.\n\nYou can structure an ambiguous problem, work with incomplete information, and still arrive at a clear recommendation.\n\nYou're comfortable building financial models that others can understand, challenge, and use.\n\nYou move fast, care about the details, and take ownership through execution - not just analysis.\n\nYou are comfortable using AI tools as part of your day-to-day work.\n\nYou have an entrepreneurial mindset and genuine interest in M&A, strategy, and company building.\n\nProfessional German and English; German is mandatory.\n\nWhy Limetax\nDirect founder exposure. Work directly with the founders on decisions that shape the company.\n\nReal ownership. Own meaningful projects and see them through from question to outcome.\n\nLive M&A. Work on real acquisition processes where you become an actual part of the deal team.\n\nBroad exposure. Move between M&A, fundraising, strategy, and operations depending on what matters most.\n\nBuild with AI from day one. Work in a company where AI is part of both the product and how we operate.\n\nPotential full-time path. Exceptional performers may have the opportunity to join Limetax permanently after the internship.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3371,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"German","level":"All levels","optional":false}]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Audit & Assurance Firms","Tax Advisory & Preparation"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-11T19:14:22Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-10-20T13:40:36Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":null,"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/limetax-founders-associate-intern-ma-strategy-mfd","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/limetax-founders-associate-intern-ma-strategy-mfd.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-26T03:26:32Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":4605,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-27T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":679116},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=679116"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Flimetax-founders-associate-intern-ma-strategy-mfd"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Flimetax-founders-associate-intern-ma-strategy-mfd"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Flimetax-founders-associate-intern-ma-strategy-mfd"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/limetax-founders-associate-intern-ma-strategy-mfd\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Flimetax-founders-associate-intern-ma-strategy-mfd"}]}
