Story

Why Northbridge exists

Northbridge Advisory was founded in Zurich in 2014 by Lea Brunner, a certified accountant, and Tobias Vogel, who had spent years as an auditor.

They saw that SMEs had two options: a large firm, with its bureaucracy and its fees, or a basic service that did little more than file paperwork.

Northbridge was created to offer a third: the peace of mind of a large firm, without the bureaucracy. Today we are a small team working with more than 200 clients, and each one has a named contact person who knows their business.

Principles

Four principles

Understated: We say what is needed and we say it clearly. No frills, no promises we cannot keep.
Reliable: If we give a date, we meet it. If something is delayed, we tell you before, not after.
Precise: Specific dates, amounts and names. We check every figure before it leaves the office.
Approachable: We speak to you plainly, sign with our own names and answer the phone.

One dedicated contact person
You know who to call. And that person knows your business, so you never have to explain it again.
We remind you before every deadline
We tell you what we need and by when, well in advance. No surprises on the last day.
Every figure in plain language
We explain what each number means for your business, not just what the law says.
A fixed price
You know what you pay each month. If anything changes, we tell you before it applies.
