What LIREX AG does

LIREX AG is a privately held mid-tier audit, accounting, tax, and business consulting firm headquartered in Schaan, Liechtenstein, with a secondary office in St. Gallen, Switzerland. Founded in 2016, the firm operates four core service lines: Wirtschaftsprüfung (auditing) covering statutory audits, SPG/AML due diligence controls, gaming/casino audits, and special statutory examinations; Steuern (tax) covering declarations, VAT, tax representation, and cross-border strategy; Buchhaltung (accounting) covering bookkeeping, payroll, and annual financial statement preparation under PGR, Swiss GAAP FER, OR, and IFRS; and Unternehmensberatung (consulting) covering M&A advisory, corporate structuring, reporting/control systems, and financial planning. The Liechtenstein entity was established in 2016, acquired Accurata Wirtschaftsprüfung AG in 2020 and merged with it in 2023, while the Swiss subsidiary was established in 2019 as St. Galler Revisionsexperten AG and rebranded to LIREX AG in December 2024.

The firm serves three primary segments: SMEs (KMUs) with cross-border Liechtenstein/Switzerland operations as the lead segment, non-profit organisations requiring audit and internal control system support, and FMA-regulated financial institutions including trust companies, asset managers, and gaming/casino operators. Named clients include FC Vaduz, aluflexpack (Process Point Service AG), Proventus Treuhand und Verwaltung AG, Casino Austria (Liechtenstein) AG, Dietmar Kaiser AG, and Job 4 You AG. LIREX is an accredited member of HLB International, granting cross-border referral capability that complements its local regulatory expertise. Technology stack is conventional: ABACUS / AbaWeb cloud accounting software for bookkeeping, with no proprietary platform or AI-driven tooling.

The business model is relationship-based professional services billing, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Services are delivered via direct partner-led engagements from the two offices plus temporary on-site placements at client sites. The firm competes by positioning between small local Liechtenstein boutiques and Big Four firms, emphasising senior expertise, regulatory specialisation (SPG, FMA, gaming), and personal service. Ownership is private, no external investors are disclosed, and revenue is not publicly reported. The team comprises roughly 20+ named professionals including partners, directors, mandate managers, and junior staff.
