Berlin-headquartered fintech bunch is closing the loop on private market operations. With the launch of bunch tax, the company has successfully unified tech-first fund administration with specialist tax services. This launch collapses the traditional, disconnected model of fund management into a single, integrated digital ecosystem—the industry’s first comprehensive ‘operating system’—cutting investor reporting times by up to 80%.

For fund managers, the status quo has historically required the agonising task of managing three separate providers: Fund Administration, Accounting, and Tax Consultancy. bunch replaces this fragmented model with a unified ecosystem, bringing the entire value chain under one roof. In practice, this eliminates manual friction and replaces the 'black box' of legacy providers with total, on-demand visibility across the entire fund lifecycle.

“Europe has the heritage, the people and the capital, but we lack the necessary infrastructure to scale," says Enrico Ohnemueller, Co-Founder & CEO. "By integrating tax and bookkeeping into our productised operating layer, we are building the rails to unlock this capital. We are moving beyond accounting software towards a true single source of truth for Europe’s private markets ending the quarterly reporting era."

Led by tax and accounting experts Viktor Apelganz and Christian Pätzold, bunch tax combines human services with data-rich automation—bringing the entire value chain under one roof—ensuring all stakeholders are working with the same data points and workflows. 

Oliver Schmied, CFO at Merantix and a bunch tax customer, adds: “As tech investors, we are firm believers in the transformative power of AI-driven processes. bunch tax represents a step-change in operational excellence and marks a significant evolution in the future of fund administration—a vision we are proud to champion at Merantix.”

bunch is the leading end-to-end infrastructure for European private markets. By combining AI-powered automation with deep domain expertise, bunch provides a single source of truth that replaces outdated, fragmented processes. Founded in 2021 and based in Berlin, London, Amsterdam and Luxembourg, the company operates across Europe, enabling fund managers and institutional investors to manage the entire fund lifecycle—from digital investor onboarding and capital calls to fund administration, fund accounting, and tax reporting. Today, bunch manages over 500 investment structures for more than 150 asset managers across all major European jurisdictions.
