What sets our financial advice in Aarau apart

tailor-made. comprehensive. for you. – that promise shapes our daily work. Our financial advice in Aarau begins with listening and ends with a plan that you decide on yourself. Three principles carry it:

Where you live and where you work, calculated together

Living in Aargau and working in Zurich or Basel is the normal case here. Commuting costs, tax where you live and property prices are connected – so we look at them together rather than separately.

Calculated with your Aargau municipality

The tax burden differs from municipality to municipality within the canton of Aargau. For home ownership, pillar 3a buy-ins and capital withdrawals that can make the difference – we calculate concretely.

Independent of banks and providers

Your existing relationship with Aargauische Kantonalbank or your own bank stays in place, as long as it works for you. We first review what you already have, and we do not sell products ourselves.

For your finances to fit your life, you need structure rather than gut feeling. Our financial advice in Aarau follows a clear process.

Our process – how financial advice in Aarau works

1. Free initial consultation
We get to know each other – at Bahnhofstrasse, by phone or by video. You describe your situation, we show you how we work. With no sales pressure.
2. Analysing your starting position
Income, spending, savings rate, pillar 3a, pension fund statement, mortgage, insurance – along with your tax situation in your Aargau municipality and your commute.
3. Your financial strategy
A concrete plan with fields of action: liquidity reserve, pension provision, protection, home ownership and tax – with priorities and a timeline.
4. Support through implementation
We compare offers, coordinate with your bank, insurer or fiduciary, and accompany the next steps. Deciding and instructing remain yours.
5. Ongoing support
At least annually: progress against goals, costs, risks, tax and changes in legislation – plus every job change, move or step towards home ownership.

Who is our financial advice in Aarau for?

As the cantonal capital, Aarau combines administration, trades and industry – and is at the same time home to many people who work elsewhere. Our financial advice is for everyone who wants to turn that into a robust plan, with retirement provision, investments, mortgages and taxes as parts of the same calculation.

You will find an overview of all our locations – including Baden – on our Financial advice Switzerland page.

Commuter households

Living in Aargau, working in Zurich, Basel or Bern: that saves on rent and purchase price but costs time and travel money. We calculate the overall balance rather than just comparing the price per square metre.

Families buying a home

Home ownership is within reach for many people in Aargau – and therefore the biggest decision in the family budget. Affordability, amortisation, fixed-rate periods and protection belong in one plan, not in four separate conversations.

Employees in administration and industry

The canton, the municipalities and energy and industrial companies shape the region. We read your pension statement, make sense of buy-ins and withdrawal options, and show what your starting position actually allows.

SMEs and trades

From the craft business to the supplier: we align private and business finances, secure liquidity and prepare pension provision and succession before it becomes urgent.

We deal with these and many other questions every day. Is yours missing? Just fill in the form at the top of this page – we will get back to you.

Go to the Form

You will find us at Bahnhofstrasse 41, 5000 Aarau – a few minutes' walk from the station and therefore easy to reach from Zurich, Basel or Bern as well. Appointments by video are possible too.

The initial consultation is free and without obligation. After that we work on a fee basis – as a flat fee for a defined engagement or at an hourly rate. You know the range before we begin; we earn nothing on the product.

That can only be answered with your figures. Purchase price, affordability, tax in your municipality, commuting costs and time all belong in the same calculation. We set the options side by side so you do not have to decide on gut feeling.

Yes. The tax burden differs from municipality to municipality within the canton of Aargau. For capital withdrawals, pillar 3a buy-ins and home ownership we therefore calculate with your actual municipality rather than a cantonal average.

No. We are bank- and product-neutral. Whether you are with Aargauische Kantonalbank, a regional bank or a large bank: we first review your existing solution and recommend a change only if it adds up for you.

Yes, we have two locations in Aargau: in Aarau at Bahnhofstrasse 41 and in Baden at Stadtturmstrasse 10. You are free to choose whichever location suits you better – the advice is the same.
