I don’t believe tax software actually needs people with game development background. The GUI is relatively basic, the code is not terribly complicated nor performance-critical, but probably needs niche skills like SQL and finance.
However, there’re huge areas of software with both problems and technologies being rather similar to videogames. These areas include CAD/CAM/CAE and many other non-gaming 3D graphics applications such as VFX and medical imaging, HPC, robotics, low-level multimedia, computer vision, some parts of AI/machine learning, professional audio, some parts of embedded, some parts of mobile.
