About Symplified

Swiss expertise. Practical execution. One trusted partner.

Symplified Consulting is a Swiss accounting, licensing, business-development and compliance firm supporting regulated businesses, SMEs, founders and international groups. We connect finance operations, licensing, corporate growth and AML/CFT in one coordinated approach.

CEO’s message

Complex requirements become manageable when they are translated into clear responsibilities, sound documentation and processes that work in practice.

Drawing on more than 30 years in Swiss and international banking, Sandra founded Symplified to give companies direct access to experienced, hands-on support.

Her approach is to work alongside management, boards and operational teams—from the first assessment through implementation and ongoing monitoring—so clients can focus on running their business with confidence.

Experience across accounting, licensing, business development and compliance

Our core team is supported by a selected international network of specialists.

Sandra Oliveira Schaad, LL.M., MSc

Founder, Symplified Solutions

Sandra brings together finance, law and regulation. Her career spans banking, financial controlling and compliance. She guides businesses from incorporation through growth, from structuring and setting up accounting to building the governance that regulators expect.

As a Xero Certified Advisor, she helps Swiss companies keep clear, up-to-date accounts on Xero, with the regulatory expertise most accounting firms cannot offer. She also acts as external AML Officer for Swiss financial intermediaries and supports clients through SRO membership and licensing procedures.

Sandra holds an LL.M. in International Business Law from the University of Fribourg, a Master in Economics from the University of Grenoble, and a Master in Teaching. She works in French, English and German.
