First Advisory is a 70-year-old independent financial services firm headquartered in Vaduz with regional offices spanning Geneva, Zurich, Hong Kong, and Singapore. The tech stack is firmly enterprise-traditional (Microsoft Office, SWIFT, EBICS, REST APIs, .NET/C#/React), reflecting the regulatory and operational constraints of wealth management. Hiring is concentrated in finance and legal roles (7 and 3 respectively), with only one engineering headcount actively posted—indicating that technology is managed internally or outsourced rather than built as a core competitive lever.
First Advisory provides independent financial advisory, asset management, and wealth structuring services to high-net-worth and institutional clients. The firm combines investment advice, tax planning, legal structuring, succession planning, and asset protection under one roof, with particular depth in family estate planning and corporate financial services. Operating across five jurisdictions (Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Hong Kong, Singapore), the firm serves clients through a 240+ person workforce. Services span portfolio management, investment controlling, mandate risk analysis, real estate solutions, and insurance brokerage, supported by specialized compliance and accounting teams.
First Advisory's core stack includes SWIFT (banking protocol), EBICS (secure bank connectivity), Microsoft Office, .NET/C#, React, SQL, and REST APIs. The toolkit reflects traditional wealth management infrastructure rather than modern fintech tooling.
Internal priorities include digitizing service processes, managing rapid growth in administrative demands, complex wealth structuring and compliance, mandate risk analysis, and consolidating fragmented service workflows—typical scaling pressures for advisory firms expanding client bases.
