Our model
We coordinate.
you decide.
We are based in Switzerland and work closely with licensed tax advisers in Germany. One engagement, one plan, one place that keeps the overview.
Why cross-border cases fail
Rarely for lack of expertise, almost always for lack of coordination. The Swiss fiduciary doesn't know the German side, the German adviser doesn't know the Swiss one. We turn that around.
Our model
One engagement. Both sides of the border.
Moving to Switzerland means two tax authorities, two sets of deadlines and usually two advisers who never talk to each other. With us, everything runs through one contact.
We lead your engagement and keep both sides on one plan.
- One first meeting, one roadmap, one deadline calendar
- Coordinated documents instead of duplicate requests
- Treaty questions solved jointly
- One fixed contact, even years after your move
We handle the Swiss side ourselves.
- Tax return, withholding tax and ordinary assessment
- Fiduciary, accounting, VAT
- Incorporation, registered office, permits
- Choice of canton and municipality
Licensed tax advisers from our partner network are responsible for the German side.
- Exit taxation under § 6 AStG
- Extended limited tax liability
- Final German income tax return
- Income from German property and shareholdings

Principles
What you can hold us to.
Before, not after
Most exit tax questions can only be shaped before the move. That's why we plan early.
Plain language
You get figures, options and a recommendation. Not paragraphs without context.
Fixed responsibility
One contact who knows your case. Even in the third year after your move.
Discretion
In Switzerland, confidentiality is the foundation. Your data stays with us and the appointed firm.
Location
At home on Lake Zurich.
We are based in Schindellegi in the Canton of Schwyz, above Lake Zurich. Zurich and Zug are close, and so is the German border. The right place for engagements at home in both countries.
