At Taxfix, we’re intentional in creating an inclusive environment where growth and professional development is highly encouraged. That’s why we’re thrilled to have also kicked off our first Womxn of Taxfix event with some of our talented women in leadership from the tech, marketing and people spheres: Thank you to Rachel Magasweran Katharina Rauh Marissa Mocenigo for being vulnerable and sharing your journeys and experiences in navigating your career; we’d like to give a special mention to Eva Glanzer for moderating the chat and also contributing with some of your personal story. Finally, we’d like to give a special shout out to Selcan Sengul and Claire Davidson for organizing the event. 👩🏻👩🏼👩🏽

We were inspired and reminded of:

🔸The importance of advocating for yourself and others

It was such a great opportunity for us to connect, learn, and grow together 💚

Summer-Partying like the 80's 🌟🕺

At Taxfix, fostering a strong sense of unity and cross-functional collaboration is key to our success. 

Our recent summer party in Berlin was the perfect embodiment of these principles. Our incredible teams from Italy, Spain & Argentina joined our team in our Berlin HQ for a full week of on-sites and fun team bonding activities and collaboration!

This year’s Miami Vice theme took us back to the 80’s 🕺. It was so much fun seeing our teams get inventive with mullet wigs, Hawaiian shirts and plenty of crimped hair to go around – such a diverse expression of our bold creativity and community spirit 🤩. 

We spent the day at Teufelsberg: an old spy tower made from the rubble of WWII; also known as ‘Devil’s Mountain’, this industrial site is now an interactive street art gallery, embodying the true spirit of Berlin. 🐻The day included some of the history buffs in our team taking advantage of a guided tour of the facility. 

To round out the day we had a special concert from our very own band- the Tax Pistols 🎸, along with a variety of delicious Latin-American-inspired food, ending with some serious moves on the dance floor. 💃🎶

We're incredibly lucky to have such wonderful colleagues who are not only talented and hardworking, but also fun-loving and supportive! 👥🤗

We’d like to give a warm shout to Bruno Martínez Gotor, Gina Salgado Lucena, and Cristina Adrianzen for organising an incredible summer party! We are so lucky to have such wonderful team members that always go above and beyond to create a supportive working environment and opportunities to unite and celebrate. Your efforts are truly appreciated, and we can’t wait for the next one 💚

🇩🇪 Unveiling the Lives of Typical German Taxpayers: Insights from Taxfix Study 📊

Curious to find out who the people in Germany are that pay taxes? A recent Taxfix study* delves into the attributes and values of typical German taxpayers, unveiling intriguing discoveries.

👪 Family Over Career: Among the respondents, 63% are married or in a partnership, 42% are without children. Remarkably, 69% prioritize family over career, highlighting the importance of strong personal connections.

🔍 Facing Fears: Losing loved ones (54%) is the primary fear, echoing the importance of relationships. Furthermore, 45% express worries about old-age poverty, while 28% are concerned about financial dependence.

💰 Work & Income Insights: 47% are in full-time employment. The income landscape is diverse, with around 30% earning up to 25,000 euros, one-third making up to 50,000 euros, and 29% earning over 50,000 euros gross per year.

📱 Banking Apps outperform WhatsApp & Co.: In the digital realm, social media apps (52%), banking apps (46%), and communications apps (43%) are the front-runners in usage. 

🏦 Traditional saving behavior: A notable 71% opt to save money in a checking account, while 29% lean towards profitable investments. Remarkably, 56% are proactively securing their financial stability in old age, relying less on state support.

💰 Navigating Taxes: In 2023, the average household is projected to have an income burden ratio of 52.7%, as per the German Taxpayers' Association (Bund der Steuerzahler e.V.).

At Taxfix, we're committed to empowering everyone to navigate the intricate world of taxes.💪💼

Gender equality should stay one people’s radar all year long, not only during #WomensHistoryMonth! 

Therefore, we at Taxfix want to raise awareness for two topics that have a crucial impact on the lives of women everywhere: The #genderdigitaldivide and the #gendertaxgap! 

👉 According to a survey by Hans-Böckler-Stiftung, the gender digital divide holds the danger of expanding gender inequality in the labour market during the digital transformation.

Only 34% of women consider themselves well-prepared for networked digital technologies! 

The German Economic Institute has recently shown that the low proportion of women in tech is one of the main causes for the shortage of skilled workers in this sector and can be detrimental for innovation and growth in the German economy. 

👉 At the same time there is a gender tax gap: 37% of women have never filed a tax return compared to 24% of the men according to our studies. 

This lack of experience raises the barrier for women to achieve financial wellbeing and take financial matters into their own hands.

We aim to break down this barrier and have been working hard to enable women to increase their financial literacy through easy access to digital tax solutions. 

Let us fight together against gender inequality by enabling everyone to increase their financial and digital know-how – all year long! 

Listen to the new season of our podcast “Money on my Mind”, the first episode with @Tijen Onaran with whom we discussed the topic of gender inequality: https://lnkd.in/efYiK2Nk 

#diversity #equity #inclusion #genderequality #genderinequality

We are back with season 2 of “Money on my Mind”! 🎙 
We're kicking it off on Equal Pay Day with guest Tijen Onaran, who sits down with host Nono Konopka to discuss the gender pay gap and why women are still not equal. 

The first episode is a taste of what's still to come this season as we dive deeper into topics like “Working parents: how to balance work and family life” with Alisa Jahnke or “Fear of investing – this is how to get started” with Diana zur Löwen. 

Listen in every Tuesday on all popular podcast channels (in German)!

We are thrilled to announce that Taxfix has signed a deal today to join forces with Steuerbot combining the two strongest and most popular mobile tax solutions in the German market under one roof. 

This acquisition represents a major milestone for Taxfix, as we continue to further build our business and strengthen our market position. Both brands will continue to exist on their own – and thus will be able to deliver even greater value to our customers and continue to drive the growth and success of our business. 

This exciting development is part of our continuous efforts towards expanding our product portfolio to serve even more customer needs and is going together with our newest milestone, the launch of our “Expert Service” offer. With the Expert-Service, people can choose to have their tax return prepared completely by a tax advisor – simply, quickly and with absolute peace of mind. 

We are very excited to join forces with Steuerbot and work very closely with the team. Both our companies share similar values and the same mission: to help more and more people to overcome their fear of tax and finance issues, to help them get their money back and to empower them to fearlessly embrace their financial responsibility. By combining forces, we are moving one step closer to fulfilling this vision!

The whole Taxfix team is looking forward to working closely with our new colleagues at Steuerbot and achieving our goals together. A special Thank You goes out to our entire team and our partners who have worked hard to get us to where we are today.

We are proud to welcome the brilliant Steuerbot team to the Taxfix family and look forward to a successful future together!

We are thrilled that according to a recent study by @GISMA Business School, the hourly wages for working students at Taxfix are ranked #1 compared to other German start-ups. 💸

It’s no secret that companies today face the “great resignation” – a term used to refer to the fact that, during the pandemic, employees in many sectors (including tech) realized that they are not satisfied with their jobs. Employee satisfaction and wellbeing is and always has been a top priority for us at Taxfix. 

By employing students we at Taxfix gain the opportunity to enrich our own team with fresh perspectives and have the chance of finding new talents. On the other hand, we can provide the students with a unique opportunity to look into the daily work of one of the leading fintechs in Germany, to gain first working experiences, and to learn from our colleagues. But while a great work environment is one thing, let’s be honest: getting paid well above the minimum wage is a necessity, especially in these difficult economic times – something we at Taxfix take very seriously.
