About us
Taxes are our everyday. Not yours.
We are a small team at Archplatz 2 in Winterthur, preparing tax returns for individuals, families, expats, the self-employed and retirees — for 500+ clients across the Canton of Zurich, many of whom have been with us for years.
Why we exist
Most tax returns are not a legal challenge. Above all, they are one thing: tedious. Collecting receipts, making sense of forms in a language that may not be your own, keeping track of deadlines — and at the end, the nagging doubt that you have forgotten something.
That is exactly where we come in. We take your pile of paperwork, work through the deductions systematically and file electronically. What we notice again and again: it is not the exotic arrangements that save money, but the ordinary deductions people simply forget. The Pillar 3a contribution (the Swiss private pension). The training course whose receipt is still sitting in your inbox. The dental bill that pushes your medical costs above the five-percent threshold.
How we work
We work with from-prices because every tax return is different — and we tell you in advance if your situation means more work. We only file once you have seen and approved the finished return, because in the end it carries your signature. And we will tell you if our help isn’t worth it — for example, when your situation is so simple that you can manage perfectly well yourself with ZHprivateTax, the canton’s free tax software.
Our clients come from Winterthur and all over the Canton of Zurich. Because returns are filed electronically, where you live makes no difference to working with us — only your municipality determines which tax multiplier is applied in the end.
Principles
Four things we never compromise on.
They sound obvious. In practice they aren’t — otherwise there would be far fewer nasty surprises on tax bills and advisers’ invoices.
Clear from-prices, no surprises
Every tax return is different — that’s why we quote from-prices and tell you before we start what to expect. If anything out of the ordinary comes up, we ask for your go-ahead before continuing.
Checking, not just typing
Typing up a tax return takes twenty minutes. Instead, we work through the list of deductions and follow up when a receipt that could save you money is missing.
Your approval first, then we file
You see the finished tax return before it leaves our office. Anything unclear, we explain — it’s your signature, after all.
Available when it counts
February and March are peak season. That is exactly when we are there for you — on Saturdays, too, by appointment.
