Working at Nexova
What you can expect
Working hours
We work a 42.5-hour week, but there is no fixed schedule. You decide when those hours happen. Being generally available between 10:00 and 16:00 helps with collaboration, but it is a guideline rather than a rule. You also get 5 weeks vacation plus Swiss public holidays.
Remote work
Work from wherever suits you: home, a cafe, 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.
Learning and 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.
Equipment and 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.
You are 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.
Team and culture
There is no one constantly looking over your shoulder. You are 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 does not mean working alone. In Basel, we have created a workspace you can use whenever you want a day of focused work or time with colleagues.
The office sits directly opposite Basel SBB, with natural light, adjustable desks, monitors, a kitchen, and space to collaborate comfortably.
People come because the space helps them work well, not because they have to. That is the atmosphere we want the page to communicate too.

No. Depending on the role, part of the onboarding may take place in our office in Basel to help you get started. After that, you can work from wherever you like. You might enjoy the office enough to come in regularly and collaborate with colleagues, but you can just as easily work from home or another location.
We mainly work with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central for accounting, as well as Notion for team collaboration and documentation. We're happy to discuss additional tools during the interview. Everything is fully digital and cloud-based.
You'll be closely supported during your first weeks. You'll have access to structured onboarding materials with video guides covering our processes and tools. In addition, you'll have regular check-ins with your manager and stay in close contact with your colleagues as you get up to speed.
In principle, you need to be based in Switzerland, especially during the first six months. After that, shorter stays abroad may be possible depending on the situation and by agreement. However, we must comply with Swiss labor and tax regulations.
Mistakes happen—that's human. What matters is how we handle them. If something doesn't go as planned, address it early and we'll find a solution together.
Mainly startups and SMEs: technology companies, consulting firms, financial service providers, and many more. They are building something and need reliable, modern fiduciary services that can keep up with their growth. Many are led by international founders who are navigating the Swiss business environment for the first time.
You work independently, but you're not on your own. You'll have regular exchange with your manager, can reach out to colleagues when needed, and we have weekly team check-ins. For us, independence means no micromanagement—not isolation.
We offer competitive salaries in line with your qualifications and experience. Exact figures depend on your background and are discussed openly during the interview process.
