Consulting for individuals
Cross-border moves, on either an assignment or local basis, are generally accompanied by a more complex tax situation. This includes, for example:
- Accounting for compensation (e.g. bonuses or equity) earned outside of Switzerland with your former employer

Consulting for Directors of the Board
In many cases, members of the board of directors hold several mandates, which means that it is not always easy for a company to recognize how the Director’s Fees must be accounted for. Depending on the individual situation of the board member, there may be an obligation to pay taxes and social security contributions abroad.
We believe that you deserve competent support in these matters so that you can concentrate on your role as a board member.
Our services include:
- Analysis of the tax and social security aspects including advice on the next steps to be taken
- Support in implementing the chosen course of action, e.g. forms for social security subordination (A1, Certificate of coverage (CoC)), declaration of the Swiss social security contributions
- Tracking of deadlines or annual review of the situation for you, so you are always up to date.
