Chiaravalli & Partners

Chiaravalli & Partners

Chiaravalli & Partners began in 1991 as an audit and tax practice founded by Emilio Chiaravalli in the Zurich region. Over three decades, a steady accumulation of Swiss entrepreneurial families as long-term clients blurred the line between professional advisory and dedicated wealth management. The firm now operates as a multi-family office out of Urdorf, Switzerland, providing family governance, fiscal structuring, and investment oversight to a concentrated group of families. Its professional lineage continues through the separate audit entity GwG Audit & Compliance GmbH, which holds memberships in TREUHAND|SUISSE and SwissAccounting. The firm applies a direct, professional-services mindset to asset allocation. Families receive strategic guidance across public equities, private markets, and real estate, with a notable emphasis on property advice — a natural extension of the founder's advisory roots. The investment posture is relational, not institutional: each family's exposure is shaped through a bespoke mix of direct property holdings and external fund commitments, rather than a centralized portfolio model. Switzerland serves as both the headquarters and primary geographic focus, reflecting the families' own origins and asset concentration. The firm remains deliberately small-scale and does not publicize assets under management or team size. Alongside the core family office, the parallel entity GwG Audit & Compliance GmbH sustains the audit and compliance tradition, maintaining the professional-network ties that original clients relied on. The structure allows families to access both fiduciary discipline and investment counsel without moving assets into a single pooled vehicle. Unlike most multi-family offices that scale through manager selection or platform consolidation, Chiaravalli & Partners is built on a professional-services backbone — its governance and investment oversight are inseparable from decades of direct audit and tax relationships. That architecture makes it closer to a family-controlled trust advisor than to the asset-gathering MFOs common in Geneva and Zurich.
