Contract
Cancellations
No more tedious procedures, missed deadlines, or nasty surprises on your bills. We handle all your cancellations with precision.
In Switzerland, every contract has its own cancellation terms and notice periods. Missing a deadline can lock you in for another 12 months. Our team knows every clause and sends your cancellations at the right time, to the right recipient, with the correct legal wording.

Obtaining an official document in Switzerland means knowing the right office, the right form, and the right supporting documents. We do it for you.

Get my documentTax & Subsidies
Our most financially rewarding service for clients. On average, we recover CHF 3,000 per year through overlooked deductions and cantonal subsidies.
Finding the best tax partner for you
We analyse your situation to connect you with the ideal tax specialist — expert in both cantonal (ICC) and federal (IFD) tax — to ensure the best possible outcome for your return.
- Personalised matching: we select the most suitable tax adviser for your profile
- Deduction audit: upfront identification of professional expenses, travel, and 3rd pillar pension contributions
- Family charge optimisation: support for deductions related to children and education
- Ongoing support: we stay by your side to facilitate communication with your tax partner
Note: This service is an advisory and referral service. The final preparation, accuracy of the data, and signing of the tax return are the exclusive responsibility of the appointed tax partner and the taxpayer.
Health insurance subsidies (LAMal)
Optimise your healthcare costs: a little-known cantonal benefit that can be worth several thousand francs a year.
- Multi-canton eligibility audit: we analyse your specific situation (Vaud, Geneva, Valais, Neuchâtel, etc.) against the latest benefit scales
- Backdated recovery: we check whether you can claim reimbursements for past periods you never applied for
- Life changes: marriage, new baby, drop in income, end of unemployment benefits? We update your file to reflect your current financial reality, which is often more favourable than your last tax assessment
- Dealing with the authorities: we prepare the complete application and manage all correspondence with the cantonal offices (OVAM, SAM, etc.)
- Annual monitoring: benefit scales change every year. We automatically alert you if a new savings opportunity arises
