About SMC Consulting GmbH

Zurich-based consultancy led by its founder, a former senior banker with more than twenty-five years in Swiss banking at two major institutions. The firm positions itself as a bridge between Europe and China, working for entrepreneurs and companies that want to establish a presence in Switzerland as well as for private clients with property, inheritance and pension matters across both regions. Corporate work covers setting up the Swiss entity and then running it, including bookkeeping, payroll and tax. Private-client work covers real estate, financing, estate settlement and insurance and pension review. Working languages are English, German, French and Chinese, and the firm coordinates a small network of partners for banking, fiduciary, legal and digital accounting support.
