The Berlin-based FinTech completes its end-to-end platform by integrating accounting and tax advisory into a centralized offering. With “bunch tax,” the company merges cutting-edge software infrastructure and contextualized AI with the deep expertise of leading accounting and tax professionals to establish a new industry standard, reducing reporting times for fund managers by up to 80%.
The FinTech startup bunch, the leading platform for private market fund operations, today announced the launch of bunch tax. With this move, bunch ends the era of fragmented administrative processes and brings fund administration, accounting, and tax advisory together in a single, intelligent ecosystem.
Until now, fund managers in Germany often had to coordinate up to three different service providers (fund administration, accounting, and tax advisory). With bunch tax, this marks not only a technological breakthrough but also a deliberate shift toward interdisciplinary collaboration, enabled by the close partnership between the global network and the fund tax experts at Moore TK and bunch, the leading technology platform in European private markets.
The Three-Pillar Model:
Unlike traditional models, bunch tax is built on a three-pillar strategy that goes beyond simply merging processes:
-
Deeply integrated technology: A radically data-driven software infrastructure serves as a “single source of truth” for all stakeholders.
-
Contextual AI: Leading large language models automate repetitive tasks and enable real-time reporting.
-
Expert-in-the-loop: Systems are overseen by leading accounting and tax experts and continuously trained with their professional expertise to ensure the highest compliance standards.
Co-Founder & CEO Enrico Ohnemüller, explains: “Exactly this is what Germany needs right now: we have the talent and the capital, what’s been missing is the infrastructure to scale this potential. By deeply integrating tax and accounting into our products, we’re bringing together three worlds that previously had to be coordinated manually. We are building the single source of truth for European private markets.”
bunch tax is led by an expert team under Viktor Apelganz and Christian Pätzold, both partners at Moore TK. The distinctive feature: the specialized accounting and tax offering is embedded directly into the platform’s digital workflows.
Christian Pätzold, Managing Director at bunch tax, says: “What we have successfully delivered for our clients for years, we are now scaling for the fund sector with software support. We are transforming highly complex accounting and tax processes from manual, isolated solutions into standardized digital workflows. The combination of a scalable tech platform and a high-quality advisory offering represents a true structural shift for the industry.”
Oliver Schmied, CFO at Merantix and a bunch tax client, explains: “As a tech investor, we firmly believe in the transformative power of AI-driven processes. We are proud partners and have worked closely with Moore TK and bunch for many years. bunch tax stands for operational excellence and marks a decisive step into the future of fund administration, a vision we consistently support at Merantix.”
Levent Altunel, Co-Founder of bunch, adds: “For far too long, fund managers have struggled with separate service providers and manual processes. The result was conflicting reports and long waiting times. We brought together the best tax advisors and the best tech experts, only this way can a system be established where 24-hour reporting is not wishful thinking but the norm.”
Viktor Apelganz, Managing Director at bunch tax, said: “The tax environment for fund structures in Germany is demanding, complex, highly detailed, and shaped by intensive interaction with tax authorities. Automated processing of fully and consistently collected data creates the freedom to focus on what truly matters: delivering expert work and achieving the best possible outcomes for our clients.”
