On my radar
What matters now in tech, tax and real estate.
The questions I hear most often from founders, expats and property owners, answered in plain language. Updated November 2026.
AI agents
Are AI agents ready for Swiss SMEs?
Yes, for well-defined work: start with one repetitive process, set clear limits and keep a human approval for anything that costs money or goes to a client.
Read the full answerQuantum computing
Why should a business think about quantum computing now?
Because of encryption: data copied today can be decrypted later. NIST published the first post-quantum standards in August 2024, and the first step is an inventory.

What does the end of the Eigenmietwert mean for homeowners?
From 1 January 2029 the imputed rental value goes, and with it most deductions for your own home. Until the end of 2028 the old rules still apply.
Read the full answerExpat tax
Do expats taxed at source have to file a tax return?
Above CHF 120,000 gross salary, yes. Below it you can apply by 31 March of the following year, which often pays off with pillar 3a or childcare costs.

About
Trained in finance. Shaped by automation. Now building.
I bring together three things that rarely meet: a degree in finance, years of automating finance processes in large organisations, and the step into building my own companies.
01 · Foundation · 2012–2016
Finance
Master of Arts in Economics-Finance from the University of Aberdeen, with Upper Second Class Honours (2:1), including an exchange year at the University of Wisconsin–La Crosse (2013–2014). Plus a certificate as a tax specialist.
02 · Experience · 2017–2026
Automation
Nine years in finance inside a global corporation: controlling, forecasting and transfer pricing first, then automating finance processes. That is where I learned to think in systems, not hours. Certified UiPath RPA Developer, Microsoft Power BI Data Analyst Associate and Alteryx Designer Core.
03 · Today · since 2021
Entrepreneur
Founded Taxed GmbH in 2021 and Skopa AG in 2026. Today Managing Director of Skopa AG, Managing Director (Mandate) of Taxed GmbH and owner of EF Real Estate.
On the road
Private
Beyond work.
Travel keeps me curious: new places, new cultures, new ways of doing things. Most of my best ideas start far from the desk.
Currently learning
French, for the francophone world.
I am studying French. It started as a passion for the francophone world and its way of life, and it is becoming a goal: to work, build and connect in French too. From Grenchen, the language border is close — Biel/Bienne, Switzerland’s largest bilingual city, is next door.
Apprendre, construire, partager — bientôt aussi en français.
At sea · RYA Day Skipper
Sailing the Strait of Gibraltar.
RYA Day Skipper since 2024. From La Duquesa in Spain to Gibraltar on a sailing yacht: tankers at anchor, tidal streams, and position fixes worked out by hand on the paper chart. Sailing teaches what business does too — read the conditions, plan the route, adjust early.

Recommendations

“He knew automation in finance inside out, but what I value most is how generous he was with it. … Whoever gets to work with him is in good hands. I know I was.”
“Long before AI became a buzzword, he was pushing us to automate repetitive processes … As a manager, he is clear, demanding in the best sense, and always approachable.”
“He understands both the technical tools and the business goal behind them, I’d recommend Emanuel to a business looking to scale up efficiently.”
