About NFS Group SA

Based in Lugano, NFS Group is a multidisciplinary Swiss advisory business that grew out of earlier work in tax, trust and legal practice. Its team of around sixteen associates brings together tax advisers, lawyers, notaries, accountants and HR specialists, with the aim of giving entrepreneurs, small and mid-sized companies and private individuals a single point of contact. Accounting runs on the Abacus platform, giving clients live access to their ledgers and invoices. The firm advises on corporate and personal taxation, VAT, legal structures, mergers and acquisitions, payroll and employment administration, relocation of staff and family-office administration. Complex company formations, restructurings and holding structures are handled as coordinated special mandates, and start-ups receive help with articles of association, shareholder agreements and bank relations. Its website is available in English and Italian, and it has announced a cooperation with an audit network.
