    Going digital

    During the Coronavirus pandemic, we pivoted form being a face to face advisor to become Switzerland’s first 100% online independent financial advisory firm. We have a fully digital process including telepresence meeting, digital financial plans and reports, and cloud-based file hosting and sharing for higher security. We are currently working on an App to bring all of your finances into one easy to reach, but secure, place.
