About STM Steuerberatung & Treuhand Mettler AG

Established in 2004 and located in central Zurich, this boutique fiduciary practice combines tax advisory, accounting and audit work under one roof. The team consists of federally certified fiduciaries, finance specialists and tax experts, and the firm states that it deliberately prioritises service quality over growth. Clients are private individuals with complex financial situations, owners of small and medium-sized companies and non-profit organisations. Typical mandates cover recurring bookkeeping and payroll, VAT, annual accounts and tax returns, as well as one-off events such as start-ups, restructurings, mergers, sales and liquidations. The practice also acts in board and managing-director mandates and provides a domicile for legal entities. Digital bookkeeping is possible through a cloud accounting platform. The website is published in German and English, and the firm belongs to the Swiss fiduciary association and a Swiss association of tax experts.
