The Swiss fintech company Numarics AG is merging with the multiple award-winning fiduciary company a&o kreston ag. The startup Numarics, founded in 2020, thus completes another important growth step in the still short history of the company. a&o kreston is number four in the category 50 to 249 employees and thus one of the leading fiduciary companies in Switzerland.

Numarics was founded by fiduciaries, auditors and experts in technological process automation as a fintech company focused on increasing efficiency in the accounting sector through the optimized interaction of fiduciary experts and digital ecosystem. Just a few weeks ago, Numarics announced a partnership with UBS, a major Swiss bank. Numarics provides an integrated, intuitive and seamless end-to-end solution for digitized fiduciary services. Last year, Numarics won the prestigious Best of Swiss App award.

With the merger, a highly qualified team of 70 fiduciaries, tax advisors and auditors at five locations in German-speaking Switzerland joins Numarics. The number of clients at Numarics thus rises to over 3,000. The team of experts now works under the slogan and philosophy: ‘We speak numbers’.
