What Findea does

Findea AG is a Swiss digital fiduciary services company headquartered in Winterthur, operating eight offices across Switzerland (Zürich, Zug, Luzern, Basel, Geneva, Lausanne, Lugano). Founded in 2005 by Michele Blasucci during his studies at the University of St. Gallen, Findea delivers accounting, payroll administration, tax preparation and consulting, fiscal/VAT representation, audit, company formation, and management/board mandates to more than 1,000 Swiss startups and SMEs (KMU). The company is part of Nexus Group Holding AG, with Blasucci managing the group since September 2014, and benefits from structural referral integration with Startups.ch, the leading Swiss company formation platform also operated within Nexus Group.

The technical backbone is the Findea Online cloud platform, which functions as a client portal for document management, receipt uploads, real-time financial dashboards, and invoicing, supported by a mobile Findea Scan App. Services are delivered through a hybrid model: clients self-serve digitally via the portal while retaining direct contact with dedicated fiduciary advisors. The product surface is multi-lingual (DE/FR/IT/EN) and integrates compliance-driven workflows for Swiss accounting standards, payroll/social-security filings, and VAT obligations.

Findea generates revenue through transparent monthly subscriptions — accounting from CHF 145/month and payroll from CHF 19/month — with separate fees for tax return preparation (from CHF 499), company formation packages, management/board mandates, and coworking/domicile address services. The GTM motion is sales-led and digitally enabled: clients enter via the website, content marketing (87+ blog articles, SEO, multilingual FAQ), and the Startups.ch referral channel, then convert through a free initial consultation with a specialist advisor. No public revenue, funding, or valuation data is disclosed, and the company remains privately held under Nexus Group.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Run my Accounts: Swiss digital bookkeeping and accounting service combining online tools with personal advisors—an almost identical hybrid model to Findea's, also targeting Swiss SMEs and startups.
• Agipa: Swiss fiduciary and accounting firm offering SME-focused bookkeeping, payroll, and tax services—traditional fiduciary competitor with overlapping service lines and target customers.
• KLARA: Swiss digital accounting and HR platform purpose-built for SMEs, offering a similar cloud-based, subscription-priced alternative to traditional fiduciary services.
• Bexio: Leading Swiss cloud accounting SaaS targeting SMEs with bookkeeping, invoicing, and payroll—directly competes with Findea for the same digital-first Swiss SME customer.
• Boss Info: Swiss SME business software provider offering accounting, ERP, and CRM modules—competes for the same Swiss SME IT budget and increasingly for cloud accounting workflows.

Others

• Taxea: Sister brand within the Nexus Group focused on tax services; not a direct competitor but an ecosystem partner that shares the Nexus referral pipeline and could either reinforce or cannibalize Findea's tax work.

Broad incumbents

• Abacus Research: Established Swiss accounting and ERP software vendor serving SMEs through to larger enterprises—an incumbent whose deeper product suite could displace lighter fiduciary+accounting bundles.
• Sage Switzerland: Global accounting and payroll software provider with a Swiss presence; competes indirectly via partner accountants and increasingly direct cloud offerings to Swiss SMEs.
