Two connected teams, one shared quality standard for advisory, compliance, and technology-enabled execution.

PQS Team

PQ Solutions

PQ Solutions AG (PQS) was founded in 2018 when PEQ GmbH (PEQ) spun off the operational tax services into a separate company. Since its inception, PQS has grown significantly in terms of scope, size, and global reach and now offers services in international operational tax areas as well as other topics such as SEC/CFTC matters, cross-border reporting and AML/KYC compliance, serving many clients worldwide, including not only banks but also other financial institutions such as trustees, family offices, and asset managers.

    PEQ spins off the tax advisory services into a separate legal entity: PEQ Solutions LLC.

  6. 2023
