Connecting technology and tax with Neuplaner

Meet one of our last investments of 2025. Founded by seasoned entrepreneurs Ben Esser and Melchior Neumann together with strategic investor Julian von Martius (Arbor Capital), Neuplaner unlocks the rich potential of technology in the tax, audit and accounting space with its human-first, tech-enabled model. The platform brings together strong, entrepreneurial teams and firms to build Germany’s leading tax, audit and accounting groups for the SME segment.

In this short conversation with the founding team, we explore their vision, their point of difference and why P Capital Partners were the right choice for their journey.

What’s the Neuplaner story so far?

"We met when we were building Kontist, Germany’s freelancer and self-employed platform connecting banking, accounting and tax. We saw enormous potential of technology to transform the tax and accounting space… and that’s Neuplaner."

What’s the vision?

"We are here to build Germany's leading tax and accounting brand by serving SMEs through a human-first, tech-enabled model. This isn’t just about changing how tax is delivered… Neuplaner is completely redefining what clients and talent expect from the firms that deliver it. We partner with entrepreneurial tax advisors combining an advisory driven offering with modern systems and a people-first culture to build a platform that’s genuinely personal and built to scale."

When you’re looking for firms to join the platform, what do you look for?

"We look for entrepreneurial teams that share our view on the future of the sector. Who are keen to grow, learn and adapt, and are open to innovation. And who have track records of running and growing companies with strong business acumen."

Why did you choose P Capital Partners as your funding partner?

"The PCP team truly got behind our vision, and we value their strong history, proven track record and credible commitment to supporting entrepreneurs and growth businesses like ours."

What excites you most right now?

"That we’re in an incredibly dynamic and changing market environment, where the winners will be those who help people and technology co-exist in the best possible way."
