Experience takes time, finance needs experience
Partnership, professionalism and reliability were the maxims upon which Paul Ramseier built his company in 1965. With his career as a Swiss certified accountant, with many years of experience in fiduciary office, then as head of the Cantonal audit offices, and finally as a UN expert in the then Belgian Congo, he had equipped himself with the requisite know-how to set up his own practice.
A steadily growing customer base showed that he was right. Starting with Pratteln small businesses - some of whom are still clients - the area of activity soon expanded to the whole of north-western Switzerland. Many new customers were obtained through word-of-mouth recommendations from satisfied clients. The workforce also continued to grow, and as early as 1975, the previous offices in his parents' house were too small. The new office building, in which rta still works, grew in stages on the plot opposite.
In October 1995, the founder handed over management responsibility to his son, Rolf Ramseier, who, after finishing his studies at university, had completed his professional training as a Swiss certified public accountant at a large auditing company. Paul Ramseier then gradually withdrew from active work in the business. Management was expanded by the addition of experienced executive staff. Thanks to extremely low staff turnover, the rta team has many years of experience in business and industry.
