Accuro opens new Zurich rep office

Accuro announces opening of Zurich office and appointment of Kripa Sethuraman as Head of Family Office

Accuro has opened a Zurich representative office as part of its organic growth strategy. The new initiative will be led by Kripa Sethuraman as Head of Family Office based in Zurich.

The expansion of Accuro’s Swiss trust and fiduciary footprint is a logical step given the significant opportunities offered by the Zurich wealth and estate planning market. It follows the growing demand by international families with cross border assets for complex and value-added trust services driven by tax transparency and a fast changing regulatory environment.

The expansion will include the continued broadening and diversifying of Accuro’s proposition into non-fiduciary services by providing ongoing support to wealth owners, family office executives and their advisors in key areas of asset reporting, administration and consolidation as well as risk and project management.

Kripa holds a B.Sc. in Foreign Service from Georgetown University, Washington D.C. and a M.Sc. in Economics from the London School of Economics. Most recently, she was International Partner at the Family Office Exchange (FOX), followed by the Quilvest Switzerland family office. Kripa has worked closely with global wealth owners and advisors on issues ranging from governance and succession planning, to structuring and organisational best practices for wealth and family preservation.

Xavier Isaac, CEO of Accuro said: "Kripa brings to Accuro more than 15 years of relevant experience in global family office strategy, consulting, and business development. She will be responsible for developing a broader strategic offering for our clients and we are delighted to have her on the team."
