Steuerboard, the Düsseldorf‑based B2B SaaS platform innovating tax workflows, today announced it has raised €725k in a pre-Seed financing round to accelerate product development and deepen market expansion across the DACH region.
The round was led by High‑Tech Gründerfonds (HTGF), with participation from SuperAngels Fund and serial entrepreneur Roland Fassauer.
“We’re thrilled to partner with HTGF and our angel investors to scale Steuerboard’s AI‑powered automations,” said Matyas Heins, Co‑Founder of Steuerboard. “This investment will enable us to rapidly enhance features that save tax offices time and deliver a seamless, transparent experience for their clients.”
Founded in 2023 by Matyas Heins and Jakob Brandt, Steuerboard tackles the specialist‑staff shortage in tax advisory firms by eliminating email “ping‑pong,” improving transparency and automating routine data processes. Its AI‑native platform integrates seamlessly with existing systems to deliver agentic AI to proactively handle routine decisions and workflows.
The global tax software market was valued at €16.1 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a 10 % CAGR through 2030. In Europe, the tax management software segment alone generated €4.34 billion in 2023. Germany is the largest national market – accounting for roughly 30 % of the European total – implying an annual opportunity of over €1.3 billion for solutions like Steuerboard.
“Steuerboard’s AI‑first platform addresses a critical need in the tax advisory sector,” said Christian Arndt, Principal at HTGF. “We believe their centralised data approach will set a new standard for efficiency and collaboration.”
Since launch, Steuerboard has onboarded nearly 100 tax offices – ranging from boutique firms to larger practices with hundreds of employees – and supports thousands of businesses each month.
They believe that their rapid adoption underscores strong demand for digital, AI‑driven collaboration in Germany’s tax industry.
With the new capital, Steuerboard will expand its engineering and customer‑success teams, accelerate development of advanced agentic AI workflows, and broaden its sales footprint across the DACH region.
Over the next 24 months, the company aims to redefine automation in the tax ecosystem by embedding intelligent, end‑to‑end workflows that anticipate advisor and client needs.
