As an international professional in Switzerland was not always clear how to optimize my finances. James gave me detailed answered, very well structured, based on my needs and plans for future. I am looking forward to a long collaboration with him.
Stephen was absolutely excellent. He was always extremely professional, giving good advice and helped me with more than I could have hope for. His communication was clear and he always gave swift replies to any questions. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Swissential.
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.

A key member of our life now
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 :)

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 !
