Client educationThe truth about fee-only financial advisors: what clients should know
10 Sept 2026
Optimise your tax position over the long term.
Most tax savings are not found in the annual return but in decisions taken years earlier: how you save for retirement, when you draw your pension capital, where you live and how you hold your property.
Our experts show you how to structure those decisions in the right order — because we sell no products, the advice is about your tax position and nothing else.
Prepared and filed for individuals and the self-employed.
Staggered over several years to keep the progression low.
Imputed rental value, maintenance and value-adding investments.
What a change of canton or commune is actually worth.
Lump-sum withdrawals can trigger steep one-year tax bills.
Where you live can matter more than fine-tuning deductions.
Pension buy-ins and relocation only work if sequenced correctly.
Structure decisions years before the tax return is filed.
Spread pillar 3a and pension capital across tax years.
Compare relocation and pension options before you move.
