I leave all the tax work to Mr M. Bächli. I have complete and utter trust in him. In addition to completing the tax return, specific matters are always cropping up and he solves these creatively and in my interests. He also represents me in tax appeal proceedings, if necessary. His comprehensive support and quick action were decisive factors for me when selecting him as my tax advisor.

We had found a suitable partner in Germany for a joint investment in wind turbines located in France. It was therefore a case of defining an acquisitions structure that, from a legal and, in particular, a tax perspective, would take into account the various different framework conditions specific to the different countries. Scenarios covering acquisition, holding, and also possible sale strategies had to be investigated and evaluated. Switzerland, Germany and France were all involved in this cross-border transaction. Michael Bächli transacted the Swiss side for us and liaised with his advisor contacts in Germany and France to coordinate the predefined scenarios. He proved to be an efficient advisor, who presented the findings that arose in an understandable way. The anticipated result was delivered in a timely fashion and fulfilled the required scope. We were very happy with the result and can wholeheartedly recommend him and his network of advisors.

For 15 years now, Mr. Michael Bächli has advised me on predominantly tax-related matters. I got to know him when I was still the owner and director of Reiterparadies Mariastein AG. He conducted all the tax work that needed to be done for my company and for myself. He supported me in the sale of the company and also found a simple, pragmatic solution in order to carry out the business succession in the tax-efficient way. Even now, he continues to support me in all tax affairs. His direct, reliable and trustworthy personality has been and is still an integral part of the different phases of my life. I will therefore continue to rely on Mr Michael Bächli's advice in future.

Thanks to the expansion of business activities in Asia and the associated construction of a new office in Singapore, I had many questions pertaining to tax and social security regulations. These needed to be evaluated not just from the perspective of Swiss law, but also, in particular, in accordance with the regulations applicable in Singapore. Michael Bächli was able to provide me with excellent support during this phase. Firstly, he has excellent contacts in Singapore who were called in to act as advisors and, secondly, together with advising on the Swiss element, he brought together everything at a single source. He achieved this within deadline, in a straightforward manner, and charged a reasonable fee for his services. I would wholeheartedly recommend Michael Bächli.

As a pharmacist, for me it is not just important but actually a crucial advantage to be able to focus on my everyday work as a community pharmacist and on my customers. It therefore made sense to outsource the legal, tax and accounting work and to transfer it to a recognised specialist. For over fifteen years, Mr Michael Bächli has been responsible for the aforementioned areas relating to my pharmacy. His expert and capable work, his discreet and responsible manner, and his rapid and prompt approach were all pivotal factors for me. He has proved to be an extremely valuable and active support for my company. Our collaboration has always been straightforward and founded on trust. I can therefore recommend Mr Bächli very highly, to anyone.
