Uzunov Consulting

Quand l’inclusion transforme des vies et enrichit nos équipes 🌱🌱   En 2021, une rencontre a bouleversé notre manière de voir le monde du travail. Notre entreprise Uzunov Consulting a commencé à collaborer avec ACTIFS, une association genevoise qui aide des personnes avec des déficiences intellectuelles, de difficultés d’apprentissage et de troubles du spectre autistique (#TSA) à trouver leur place dans le milieu professionnel. 💡   Leur mission est simple mais puissante : offrir à chacun la chance de s’épanouir dans un environnement qui lui correspond. 🌱 Leurs coachs, formés aux spécificités du TSA, accompagnent candidats et entreprises avec une approche personnalisée. 🤝   Nous avons eu le privilège d’accueillir deux de leurs candidats.   Le premier est arrivé parmi nous, discret et réservé. Au fil du temps, nous avons vu éclore un collègue confiant, chaleureux, qui s’ouvre aux autres et communique avec aisance. 😊 Son évolution a été une source d’inspiration pour toute l’équipe. 🌟   Le second a relevé le défi de travailler en équipe en open space malgré les distractions sonores et visuelles. Il a non seulement maîtrisé son environnement, mais a également structuré ses processus de travail et les a partagés avec nous. 📋 Sa détermination et sa rigueur ont apporté une nouvelle dynamique à notre manière de collaborer. 🚀   Ces expériences nous ont enseigné une leçon précieuse : l’#inclusion n’est pas seulement un objectif, c’est un voyage qui enrichit chacun d’entre nous. ✨ La #diversité révèle des talents insoupçonnés et renforce la cohésion de notre équipe. 🤗   Un immense merci à Actifs. 🙏 Grâce à eux, nous avons compris que donner une chance, c’est recevoir bien plus en retour. ❤️

How do you view your accountant: a cost center or a profit driver? In many businesses, accountants are seen as the backstage job of a great movie production 💼📊 Essential to the performance, but no one applauds. They’re balancing budgets and closing books while others bask in the spotlight. This is what we will call the “cost center” mindset—accounting as a necessary expense, but not a strategic asset. But what if you flipped the script? Imagine treating your accounting team as a profit driver. 💰 In forward-thinking companies, accountants are key players—driving mergers and acquisitions, fueling business expansions, streamlining processes, uncovering cost efficiencies, and boosting the bottom line. They’re not just crunching numbers; they’re shaping decisions and holding the business together. The difference? Culture. 🧩 Some organizations limit accounting to compliance tasks—tick boxes, avoid audits, and move on. Visionary companies work together with their accountants as critical partners in value creation, deeply integrated with operations, financial planning, and leadership. So, ask yourself: When was the last time your accountant helped shape your financial strategy or uncovered hidden opportunities? Maybe it’s time to rethink how you view accounting. Ready to transform your accounting from a cost center to a profit driver? Let’s have a chat and explore how we can elevate your financial strategy. 👉 Book your free consultation here - https://lnkd.in/dHZAWNZX #UzunovConsulting #Swissaccounting #Swissexpat #swissbusiness #AccountingServices #BusinessGrowth

A business expansion into Switzerland requires a deep analysis of the financial implications of the expansion. Because of a competitive business environment, costs can be high and without planning, it can lead to unnecessary overheads. Here’s how to approach it:  1. Stress Test Your Financial Model  Build multiple financial scenarios—best case, expected, and worst case. This helps ensure your model is resilient against market shifts. ✅Pro Tip: Use different forecasting models and plan for external shocks, like global supply chain disruptions or currency volatility. 2. Capital Structuring You’ll need a robust capital structure to support long-term growth in Switzerland. A combination of equity and debt financing helps manage liquidity and reduces risks. ✅Pro Tip: Swiss banks require extensive documentation. Work with a Swiss financial advisor to ensure compliance and optimize your capital structure.  3. Currency Hedging The Swiss franc is a strong currency. Currency fluctuations can affect your margins, so hedging strategies are crucial. ✅Pro Tip: Use currency forwards or options to lock in favorable exchange rates and protect against fluctuations. 4. Managing Labor Costs Switzerland can have a high labor cost because of the skilled workforce and high cost of living. Balance labor costs with operational efficiency by evaluating hiring local talent vs. transferring staff. ✅Pro Tip: Weigh the costs of relocating employees against the advantages of using local talent with Swiss expertise. 5. Tax-Optimized Structures Switzerland has a decentralized tax system. Savvy businesses choose their headquarters carefully, factoring in tax advantages and industry-specific incentives. ✅Pro Tip: Some Cantons like Zug or Schwyz could offer favorable tax rates but while it’s important, tax rate consideration should not be your main driver to choose the location- consider the location as a whole (pool of employee expertise, closeness to direct market, corporate clusters, cantonal incentives, and others).
