Rated 5 out of 5 stars

This time I decided to withdraw a significant portion of my funds to use it somewhere else. Even if I closed one of my Swissential services, my consultant, Christopher, gave me good advises on how I can wisely handle it. i much appreciate such friendly and super professional attitude. I can highly recommend him and I plan to discuss some other investment with him soon.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I received excellent service from Gaetan Proffit. I was able to reach my targets within very short time with his proactive and prompt actions.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Swissential provided exceptional financial planning services. Jon, my advisor, is incredibly knowledgeable about the Swiss system and offered clear, honest guidance. His expertise and excellent customer service made the entire process smooth and easy to understand. And fun. I highly recommend Swissential.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I can only recommend working with Jonathan from Swissential SA and I am not surprised at all to see so many good recommendations.
We worked with Jonathan to reassess our choices, make some key
decisions & plan better our long-term dreams.
Jonathan was not the first advisor we worked with, and it was great to see how a good consultant can make a difference.
What we liked the most: he listens, he debates with you, he offers options, he thinks what is best for your personnal situation (vs try to sell you a one size fits all), he is very available for ad-hoc requests, he makes your life easier logistically (meetings, documents to sign, ...) he strikes a great balance between ambitious but realistic - which was perfect for us.
And he is always smiling and with his positive vibe.
Now Jonathan is really part of our life :)

Pension Support

James came highly recommended to me and I can understand why.
James has been extremely supportive in understanding my financial position and walking me through options on my Swiss pension while moving back to the UK. In addition, I am grateful for the ad-hoc support, detailed explanations and quick replies James provides.

Best Financial Advisor in Switzerland

Jonathan has an impressive wealth of knowledge of financial products, swiss taxes, and the Swiss pension scheme.

He's always capable of simplifying decisions by providing tangible examples of how to think about investment choices. He has developed a very structured approach that facilitates your personal financial assessment, which then turns into a very actionable discussion about goal definitions.

Last, I would say he's extraordinary. You can consult him for any advice, and he always shows a genuine will to offer help.

I am so thankful to have them as my…

I am so thankful to have met James O’Brien as my advisor! He is very professional and reliable , always giving me as much information as possible , answering every type of question about Swiss rules and laws from pension to house investing and many other considerations for my future financial state . With high insight I didn’t realise how important it can be in knowing all the options . He transferred my private company pension when I left the company . I don’t know how I would have done this without him. Even if you don’t have any changes in your professional life it is best to engage them early in the process to avoid future mistakes . I also recommended James to a friend and she was extremely impressed ! Thank you to my advisor !

Great experience all throughout

Great experience all throughout. Jonathan guided me all throughout the process of understanding the Swiss tax system and provided wise advice on how to better optimize my taxes. I felt well accompanied and looked after at every moment, and their explanations were clear and transparent, even for a newbie like me.
