Legal advice

At Acconsis, we understand that the heart of a benefactor or a founder of a non-profit organisation beats for their ‘mission’.

That is why we make sure that you can focus on this mission: as experts in this field, we know how crucial the appropriate legal structure and economic stability are. Our expertise and close relationship with family foundations, as well as non-profit foundations and organisations, enables us to provide you with comprehensive support and a deep understanding of your individual needs in this environment.

Our service promise includes not only tax and legal advice, but also the assumption of management activities to strengthen your organisation. With our all-round support, we master the complexity of compliance, finance and administration for you.
