Visma strengthens offering to German accountants and tax advisors with two acquisitions
milia.io and Taxy.io, providers of AI-powered solutions for accountants and tax advisors in Germany, join the Visma family.
Visma, Europe’s leading provider of mission-critical business software, announces its further expansion in the DACH region with the acquisitions of milia.io and Taxy.io.
- milia.io offers an AI-powered platform for accounting offices which facilitates client collaboration and automates and standardizes internal workflows. The all-in-one platform covers end-to-end workflows, thus significantly enhancing communication and collaboration with clients, and is easily integrated with leading accounting systems.
- Taxy.io has pioneered the use of AI in tax advisory, and is already used by more than 1,500 tax firms and tax departments across Germany. Its AI tax assistant helps tax advisors respond efficiently and precisely to complex tax inquiries, and recently became the first digital assistant to pass the official tax advisor exam.
Leading in AI automation
“We are very excited to confirm our continued growth in Germany through these two acquisitions. milia.io and Taxy.io are leading the way in leveraging AI to automate, simplify and support the work of accountants and tax advisors, and will be perfect additions to our suite of software offerings in the DACH region”, says Ari-Pekka Salovaara, Chief Growth Officer at Visma.
milia.io was co-founded by Tilman Walch and Michel Menk in 2021. Becoming part of Visma marks the next step in realizing milia.io’s vision, strengthening its position in AI-driven automation for tax and accounting firms while opening new opportunities for sustainable growth.

With Visma’s long-term perspective and our shared commitment to AI innovation, we can ensure that our customers benefit from continuous improvements and future-proof solutions,” says Tilman Walch, CEO of milia.io.
