Switzerland's SRO-regulated sector is growing rapidly — driven by fintech, crypto, virtual asset service providers, and the expanded AMLA framework entering into force in mid-2026. We are building a specialist team to serve this client base: financial intermediaries who are members of FINMA-recognised SROs (VQF, PolyReg, SO-FIT, ARIF and others) and who need expert accounting, regulatory accounting, and AML compliance support.

Tasks
You will join a dedicated sub-practice within our Financial Services regulatory team, focused exclusively on clients operating as Art. 2 para. 3 AMLA financial intermediaries — payment service providers, crypto VASPs, fiduciaries, independent asset managers, forex desks, and other parabanking sector entities affiliated with Swiss SROs.
Your work will span two axes: regulatory-grade accounting (ensuring financial statements and books are audit-ready and AMLA-consistent) and AML compliance support (assisting clients in their periodic SRO audit readiness, transaction documentation, and risk framework maintenance). You will work closely with our RAB-licensed audit leads and with individual SROs, giving you a uniquely broad view of the Swiss regulatory landscape:
Prepare and review statutory accounts for SRO-member clients (GmbH / AG), ensuring alignment with Swiss GAAP FER and AMLA recordkeeping requirements (Art. 7 AMLA, 10-year retention)
Support clients through periodic SRO audit cycles — coordinating documentation, preparing audit-ready working papers, and liaising with approved AMLA audit firms (RAB Art. 6 / Art. 24a AMLA)
Conduct or support AML risk assessments: customer risk tiering, transaction pattern analysis, beneficial owner verification documentation, source of funds / source of wealth files
Assist in drafting and reviewing AML/CFT policies, internal directives, and on...
