Tax

You are taxee
and we know it.

If you want to change the game, you need a partner who not only understands the rules, but also rewrites them. That's why YPOG is the first port of call when it comes to tax solutions for visionary ideas and new business models. We advise founders, start-ups, and investors, among others - real game changers. Soon you as well?

Whether you have a degree with a tax background or are a tax assistant or tax consultant looking for a job with really good development opportunities and a high level of personal responsibility, we have the right tasks for you in our team.

We are often already dealing with questions that legislators and tax authorities will only have answers to in a few years' time. This gives you the freedom to provide impetus for our industry with your creative ideas and your own concepts. Together with you, we want to take tax consulting to a new level.

By the way: in addition to exciting tasks, we offer you much more to look forward to. That's why we are on the podium of the top three employers in JUVE Steuermarkt for the third time in a row.

Hybrid Working

Our IT infrastructure allows you to work flexibly from home or in one of our YPOG offices. We are also happy to provide you with a “workation” as part of our policy.

It is important to us to combine flexibility with close personal interaction. That's why we meet regularly in the office while also having developed hybrid communication formats. For example, the weekly "12 mins. us" with information about the respective location, the monthly cross-location "Behind the Scenes" and, of course, the daily exchange with your team.

For us, hybrid working also means that our teams work together across locations and that team members can have their home base in different offices.

Working Time Models

At YPOG we believe that, if you want to provide good advice, you need to be a balanced person and a versatile interlocutor. We are therefore convinced that there must also be a life outside of the office and that leisure time is not just for recharging the batteries for work.

We do not have fixed attendance times. Part-time models that take individual needs into account are also possible with us and are even taken up by partners. You have 30 days' vacation (plus Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve). Sabbaticals are possible by individual arrangement.

Lean Digital Processes

Whether onboarding, document processing, or e-learning, at YPOG, we have organized our workflows quickly and efficiently. Thanks to our fully digital cloud infrastructure and the constant improvement of our processes, we have been able to eliminate many time wasters from our day-to-day work.

Physical & Mental Health

Your health is very important to YPOG. For your mental wellbeing, we work with OpenUp. Through OpenUp, you have unlimited one-on-one access to coaching and mindfulness consultations with psychologists and other mental health resources.

For a workout-life balance, we cooperate with the Urban Sports Club, and as a YPOGee you get your membership significantly cheaper. We also offer yoga classes and back training, work with running coaches, provide fresh fruit and vegetables, and offer you the opportunity to lease a work bike. We have equipped our offices with the latest ergonomic chairs and height-adjustable desks.

Onboarding with the Buddy Principle

When you start at YPOG, we want to make the first few months as easy as possible for you, for instance, by providing you with a "buddy". This will be a YPOGee from your peer group with approximately one to two years of professional experience at YPOG. It is not only your buddy you can turn to with questions - of course, all other colleagues will also be happy to help you.

Through direct integration into client work and close cooperation with experienced colleagues, your learning curve at YPOG will rise steeply from day one.

A learning management system, wikis, process descriptions, support for client work, and various specialist topics for reference will help you to familiarize yourself.

We also invite you to our two-day onboarding event. There you will learn everything else you need to know for a successful start at YPOG. For example, we'll introduce you to our culture, our values, and your career opportunities. You can take part in soft skills training and make contacts with many other new YPOGees across all locations.

Mentoring

To support you in your professional and personal development, we will provide you with a mentor. The mentor will accompany you on your individual career path, hold regular development/career discussions with you, give you suggestions for personal and professional development and set development goals together with you. You will choose this person yourself after your first few months with us, as they will be your trusted point of contact for questions of any kind.

Feedback

Regular feedback meetings with the partners show you transparently where you stand in your development and what we expect from you. The basis for this is a career development concept that is based on our values and serves as a benchmark across all career levels.

For us, feedback doesn't just go in one direction. We regularly ask you (just like all other YPOGees) how you are doing with us, whether you are developing optimally, and how we can do better.

Career options

You have a career path at YPOG that can take you from Associate, to Senior Associate and on to Associated Partner, before leading to Partnership.

Partnership is not your goal? At YPOG, you can follow your own individual career path.

At YPOG, we support your development across all seniority levels. We are convinced that your own consultant personality is shaped not only by your legal excellence, but also by many other factors, such as leadership skills, tech know-how, and your personal brand. For this and much more, we have an extensive offer in our training program "YBrains".

Experts from our own ranks, from friendly law firms, or from clients provide you with their professional insights. In formats such as online or in-house training, you can not only expand your legal know-how, but also exchange ideas and network with your colleagues.

To ensure that your skills in management areas such as leadership, presentation, and negotiation skills are also developed to an excellent level, we have entered into a partnership with Bucerius Executive Education. You will regularly take part in training sessions with top-class lecturers who are experts in the industry.

If you are interested in (legal) tech topics, you can take part in our tech readiness training courses. For example, you will learn the basics of digital design, programming, or the management of digital projects.

With this combination of know-how, insights, and skills, you will have everything you need to go your own way and make a difference - for yourself, for us, and for our clients.

Apply to YPOG

You can upload your application documents using our online form. Transparency is very important to us. We provide you with comprehensive information about what makes us tick and what it's like to work for us. We would therefore be delighted if you could also provide us with some information about yourself; we ask for your CV, your references, and a brief background to your application, for instance when you could start with us. A cover letter is not necessary.  

What happens next with your application?

Once we have received your application, we will get back to you within a week. If we are interested in your profile, we will meet (virtually, if possible) for an initial interview. 

If the first meeting is promising for you and for us, we will invite you to a second meeting in one of our offices.

Before you decide to join YPOG, you will have the opportunity to get to know your future team in person. You will meet the partners with whom you will later work, and your fellow associates can ask you questions over lunch.  

We try to make all meetings flexible in terms of time and location. To give you an authentic impression of your future workplace, we will definitely invite you to your preferred location.   

By the way...

...at YPOG we are on a first-name basis from the very beginning. You are welcome to omit the formal "you" (“Sie” auf Deutsch) in your application.
