The Nexova team, together as a group

The fiduciary industry is changing, but most firms aren’t. Nexova is building the future of Swiss digital accounting services, and we’re looking for people who want to build it with us.

Why Nexova?

We do things differently

Bananas standing out from the crowd — Nexova does things differently

Most Swiss fiduciary firms will tell you they’re “flexible” or “digital.” Then you join and discover that flexible means “sometimes you can leave at 4:30,” and digital means “we scan our paper files.”

We take a different approach. Nexova is Switzerland’s first fully remote fiduciary firm, offering accounting, payroll management, company formation, and other related services to startups and SMEs. We’ve been fully digital since day one: no office, no paper files, no legacy systems. Just modern tools, streamlined processes, and a team that works from wherever they work best.

How we started

The story behind Nexova

David knows the industry from both sides, as an employee and as the owner of his own fiduciary firm. What drove him was a conviction: that work and freedom do not have to be opposites.

Seeing the world. Shaping your own day. Working without being tied to a single place. What once seemed unthinkable was meant to become the foundation. A company where freedom and flexibility come first and fiduciary work is consistently reimagined in a digital way.

In 2021, he met Marco in Colombia. They shared the same vision. In 2022, they founded Nexova. Remote first, digital, and flexible, not as an add on, not as a guideline, but as the foundation.

At Nexova, freedom and flexibility are not a marketing promise. They are the core of who we are.

Working at Nexova

What you can expect

  • Smiling employee giving thumbs up

    Working hours

    We work a 42.5-hour week, but there's no fixed schedule — you decide when those hours happen. Being generally available between 10:00 and 16:00 helps with collaboration, but it's a guideline rather than a rule. You also get 5 weeks vacation plus Swiss public holidays.

  • Employee holding a globe symbolising remote work

    Remote work

    Work from wherever suits you: home, a café, or our Basel office if you want a space to collaborate. After your first six months, working from other countries is possible with your manager's agreement.

  • Employee with notepad representing learning and development

    Learning & development

    We support professional development and can cover costs for courses, certifications, and conferences. What we fund depends on relevance to your role and is subject to agreement with your supervisor.

  • Employee with laptop representing equipment support

    Equipment & IT

    We cover the initial cost of your home setup: laptop, monitors, headset — whatever you need. After that, you get CHF 200 per year for ongoing tech needs, plus unlimited calls and data through our Galaxus Mobile partnership.

  • Confident employee with raised arms representing protection

    You're protected

    We offer an above-average pension with one of Switzerland's most reputable funds, comprehensive accident coverage including private hospital ward access, and strong salary continuation during illness.

  • Smiling employee representing a positive team culture

    Team & culture

    There's no one constantly looking over your shoulder. You're trusted to manage your own work, with direct and open communication. We support team get-togethers with up to CHF 35 per person for events with four or more colleagues.

Our Basel office

A place to connect

Working remotely doesn't mean working alone. In Basel, we've created a cool workspace that you can use anytime, whether for a day of focused work or to spend time with colleagues.

The office is located directly opposite Basel SBB station, with views of the iconic clocks and the station square. Step off the train, cross the street, and you're there. Large windows fill the space with natural light. Inside, you'll find everything you need: height-adjustable desks, monitors, a coffee machine, a kitchen with a lunch table, and a lounge with purple Nexova couches.

The atmosphere feels different from a traditional office. No one is there because they have to be. Everyone comes voluntarily and leaves when it suits them. That creates energy, focus, collaboration, and new ideas.

  • What we expect

    Manage your own time

    No one’s going to chase you. You’re responsible for meeting your commitments and organising your workload.

    Communicate proactively

    If something’s not going to plan, say so early. We’d rather hear about problems before they become urgent.

    Take ownership

    Think beyond your task list. If you see something that could be better, raise it or fix it.

    Maintain high standards

    The freedom we offer depends on everyone delivering quality work, efficiently and consistently.

    Keep learning

    We invest in your development, and we trust you to make the most of it. Stay curious, build your skills, and keep getting better at what you do.

Freedom means responsibility

Built on trust, not control

Matches and a phone about to spark — freedom paired with responsibility

Many other fiduciary firms claim to be flexible but there’s usually a caveat. With us, it’s real.

There’s no requirement to come into an office, though we have one in Basel if you want it. No fixed working hours either, but being generally available between 10:00 and 16:00 helps with collaboration. You should be based in Switzerland for your first six months; after that, working abroad is possible with your manager’s agreement.

The freedom we offer works because we hire people who don’t need to be managed. We trust you to structure your own day, manage your own workload, and deliver results. In return, we expect you to act like an owner, not like someone counting down the hours. If you want to coast, this isn’t the place. If you want to learn, grow, and stay ahead, it might be.

Cutting-edge digital

Future-proof your career at Nexova

The fiduciary industry runs on legacy systems and manual processes. We don’t.

At Nexova, you’ll work with modern tools, automated workflows, and digital-first processes that most traditional firms won’t adopt for another decade. You’ll learn approaches shaping the future of the industry, not just how it worked twenty years ago.

We offer competitive salaries and invest in your development. We don’t have a big corporate ladder, but what we offer is the chance to stay ahead. When you leave Nexova — whether that’s in two years or ten — you’ll have skills that put you years ahead of peers in traditional environments.

What our team says

In their own words

  • Joana Schoenmacker

    Joana Schoenmacker, Team Leader

    “What I particularly appreciate about Nexova is the exceptionally positive atmosphere within the team. Everyone is open, approachable and supportive, including the two founders, David and Marco. You feel encouraged to share your perspective and put your own ideas into practice. We share our knowledge and want to grow together as a team. I especially value the way we work through challenging cases together and learn from one another’s experience.

    Another major advantage for me is the flexibility in when and where I work. It allows me to balance my professional and personal life and organise my working day independently.

    The work itself is also stimulating: we support clients with innovative business ideas and significant growth potential. This regularly brings new challenges that allow me to contribute my expertise while continuing to learn. This combination of a strong team, autonomy and varied work makes Nexova a special place to work.”

  • Timotheus Gerber

    Timotheus Gerber, Customer Success Manager

    "What immediately stood out to me at Nexova is the open culture and the people — genuinely friendly, collaborative, and easy to connect with. That sets the tone for everything else.

    My role is complex and challenging, exactly what I was looking for. Getting to know our clients and understanding their business ideas is endlessly interesting. Because customer success connects many parts of the business, I gain broad visibility and collaborate closely across teams, which I really enjoy.

    I value being able to shape our processes and take real ownership. The learning curve? Less mountain hike, more rocket launch — steep, fast, and exhilarating.

    If you're considering joining, bring a strong sense of responsibility and the drive to act proactively. If that excites you, you'll thrive."

  • Julian Bloch

    Julian Bloch, Accountant

    "I wanted a role that would give me more flexibility and work-life balance, and Nexova has undoubtedly delivered on that. I love to travel, so the freedom to structure my own schedule, work from different locations, and even take a few workations has been great.

    What I've really come to value most though is how much direct contact I have with leadership. David is always open to discussing things, giving feedback, and answering questions, without it ever feeling like micromanagement. There's a real sense of trust. I'm given space to get on with my work in my own way, and my perspective is genuinely valued.

    The rest of the team has a great attitude too. People actually want to help each other and see the company do well, not just clock in and collect a paycheck. It's collaborative rather than competitive, which is refreshing after working in places where everyone is just looking out for themselves.

    I also really enjoy the clients we work with — mostly startups and SMEs doing interesting things. It feels like we're part of helping innovation thrive in Switzerland, not just processing paperwork for large corporates."

  • André Schumacher

    André Schumacher, Recruiting Manager

    "What I really appreciate about working at Nexova is the drive and clarity of the founders. I work very closely with David, and you can clearly feel how much care, detail, and genuine responsibility he puts into the company. This shows not only in the way processes are built, but especially in how much thought he gives to the people working here.

    At the same time, there is a strong focus on the client side. A lot of attention is put into creating a truly positive customer experience, which is also reflected in the consistently strong Google reviews. The company is structured in a way where customers benefit, employees feel valued, and the business itself can grow sustainably.

    For me, Nexova feels like a win-win-win setup. It's not a company built purely around profit, but one that aims for long-term quality, trust, and development. I also highly value the open-minded and constantly learning mindset of the founder — something that clearly shapes the culture and is reflected in the people you work with every day."

People who take ownership. We don't micromanage, which means you need to be self-motivated and accountable. If you deliver results and communicate well, you'll have more freedom here than almost anywhere else in the industry.
