The Taxdoo Benefit Pack

Taxdoo has its essentials, but also the benefits

At Taxdoo, our employees’ well-being is our main priority. Guided by our values of being bold and passionate, excelling, and driving change at the core of our company culture, we aim to create a working environment where our colleagues feel seen, heard, appreciated, and where their well-being is a responsibility for us as an employer.

With all this in mind, and with dedication and appreciation for our employees, we set ourselves a goal to develop the Taxdoo Core and the Taxdoo Benefit Pack.

What is the Taxdoo core pack?

The Taxdoo Core Pack is a lineup of must-haves that every Taxdoo employee and new joiner has immediate access to. From day one, we’ve got your back.

Here is what the core pack is all about.

Knowledge is power: Tailored Onboarding

A few years ago, the Taxdoo onboarding program was born. With a diverse training schedule to provide all the support needed for you to thrive from day one, our approach is simple but effective.

You’ll never walk alone: The Buddy Method

From day one, each new joiner is assigned a Buddy who is there every time you call their name. Ok, maybe not every time – you could also Slack them. Helping you settle into your new position and team, a Buddy is all about exchanging experiences. Feel free to share your knowledge and constructive feedback: the Buddy Method is always growing and improving.

Level Up: Professional and personal development

Taxdoo is by your side every time you need some extra support to grow your knowledge and develop your skill set. For this, we offer our employees a personal learning budget that is flexible and accommodates their goals. Furthermore, our company-wide training sessions and courses across all departments are open to all permanent employees.

Opportunities

Taxdoo is proud to be by our employees’ side when they want to expand their horizons. Our team will always provide support with finding the right workshop, seminar, or training so you can feel confident in your job and future career.

Flexibility

By empowering our colleagues and teams to be the designers of their workdays, we support autonomy and creative thinking. Have you caught a travel bug? We offer you the option to work from almost anywhere around the globe for up to 40 days a year.

A workspace of today

Our office is in the Speicherstadt, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Hamburg. This location is very central, surrounded by endless walking routes, restaurants, and shops. City hustle and bustle isn’t your thing? Not to worry – close by are many transport links that can take you across the city and beyond in minutes.

Home office

Our remote-first culture supports all colleagues who want to make their home their office, with Taxdoo offering support with setting up if it is needed.

Team spirit

Monthly team events, after-work activities, and get-togethers are just a few of the things that contribute to the respectful and feel-good atmosphere you will enjoy at Taxdoo. Don’t live in Hamburg? We’ve got you covered! If you live over 40km away, we’ll help you enjoy Taxdoo team events by supporting you with transport and accommodation.

Health is Wealth

Not only do we provide yoga classes, we also provide self-help tools and services for mental health with our provider Open Up. Treat your body like a temple with our partnership with sports and wellness provider, Urban Sports Club, which takes our holistic commitment to our employees’ health to the next level.

The Taxdoo Benefit Pack: what else do we offer?

Now that you know all about the Taxdoo core pack, you may be wondering what more there is that our employees love about Taxdoo. We understand that everyone is motivated by different things, so we’ve tailored our benefits package to reflect a range of optional bonus items to make each day better, however, that looks for you.

VSOP

Taxdoo is on an exciting journey and it is of the utmost importance to make it possible for our employees to participate in our success. We have created our Virtual Share Option Pool, otherwise referred to as VSOP, which gives our colleagues virtual stock options on successfully passing your probation period.

Tell Your Friends Bonus

Sharing is caring! We all know someone who is good at what they do. Sometimes, they might be open to new opportunities in their professional life. At Taxdoo, everyone who refers a friend or a former colleague who would be a good fit for our culture and common values receives a bonus.

Pension plan, but make it corporate

We take the words “Think about later” seriously. This is why we offer you the opportunity to supplement your statutory pension in the form of a company pension plan, which is otherwise referred to as ‘Betriebliche Altersvorsorge’.

Public Transport

We help you get to where you need to be, by offering a subsidised ‘Deutschlandticket’, a benefit which covers unlimited public transport in all of Germany. Unsurprisingly, it is a Taxdoo-favourite. Not only can you use it for commuting to and from the office, but also to discover everything Hamburg city has to offer.

30 days of paid vacation

The more, the merrier. With 30 paid days of holiday per year, you can take time off to recharge your batteries and come back in the best of spirits.

Sabbatical

Our employees benefit from the option to take some extra time off work. We know that sometimes taking a break is the most productive thing you can do, so we always strive to foster an environment of well-being and mental health first.

The Taxdoo culture is dynamic but steady; nuanced but to the point. We like to provide direction, but we know that self-driven employees are the reason why Taxdoo is where we are today. We want to empower our Taxis to be in control of their growth journey, and this is exactly why we want to make sure that we give them everything they need in order to achieve it.

At Taxdoo, we are proud to be an equal-opportunity employer. In our recruitment process, we consider applicants regardless of sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, race, color, religion, national origin, disability, or age. Diversity is one of the core values that we embrace on different levels within the organization- from our employees to our products and clients.
