| Hello, we live near Berne and need an accountant to help us optimise tax for a rather busy financial year: employment in CH, modest income from small businesses in UK, selling a house in UK, letting a house in UK, buying property in CH. Can anyone suggest where we could find someone competent to advise on all these things? I have read through the posts in this thread, but cannot see any recommendations which tick all the boxes. Language is not an issue - English, German or French would be OK.
Grateful for any suggestions. Thank you. | |

"Optimising tax" is a big order, and is generally not doable on short notice.
I am semi-retired and more than that I virtually never take clients from the Internet. But I do deal (as tax lawyer) with UK, US, Canadian and Swiss (only because I happen to be Swiss) taxes and write on the stuff.
If someone wants to set up a thread for tax questions I may be able to help.
But it's hard to imagine anyone providing an affordable service for users of this forum. The most qualified accountants count on being paid by international employers on behalf of their expat workers. But estate planning is almost always outside of their remit, and especially for UK domiciliaries that can prove an expensive omission.
Try this case on for size (failure of an expensive accountant to appreciate the rules on nondoms):
