About us
Portrait
- Founded in 1989 and managed by the owners
- Some 30 employees covering various areas
- Complete quality management to comply with special licenses (FINMA/FAOA)
Since its foundation, Ferax has focused on SME’s and private persons. The long-term cooperation with clients from various industries is based upon our consistent and personal client care. Our partnership structure ensures that our customers are supported by the same service professional over years. The breadth and depth of our partnership ensures the continuity and existence of the firm going forward.
We value well-trained employees. Accordingly, we ensure continuous education and training. We are committed to developing future professionals and, therefore, offer apprentices a dynamic and educational place of work. Our interdisciplinary teams allow us to specialize while still offering holistic solutions to our clients.
Our dedication to above average quality is confirmed by our special statutory approvals (FINMA/FAOA). These licenses require that we have documented as well as implemented complete quality management in all areas. Our quality can also be seen in our day to day cooperation. We consider ourselves a professional service provider which thinks ahead to simplify the lives of our clients.
Our values – Personally there for you
We simplify the lives of our clients, provide assurance and are personally there for you.
Our approach
- We are personally committed to our clients.
- Therefore, everyone is important to us: from the employees at reception, to the engagement managers and staff clear through to the employees in administration.
- We relieve our clients from a technical and time perspective by thinking ahead and by being their personal contact Person.
- We continuously educate ourselves and inform ourselves about current developments so that our clients can seize opportunities and avoid risks.
- We offer individual, modular services as needed.
- We stand for trust and transparency – just like the “A” in the Ferax logo: We show what – at first glance – is not visible (for example tax savings, efficiency improvements and hidden risks).
- The name Ferax comes from the Latin word for fruitful. We want all of our interactions with our clients to be fruitful and to lead to success.
Your advantages
- Simple: You can concentrate on what you do well and/or like to do.
- Safe: You can rest assured that all aspects which impact your decisions have been considered.
- Personal: You have one contact person who is familiar with your individual situation.
