Deloitte Switzerland Invests in AI, Sustainability, and Talent Growth

Highlights

• Deloitte Switzerland revenue 2024/25 touches CHF 586 million with growth in Audit & Assurance and Tax & Legal.
• Sustainability and net-zero targets validated by SBTi, alongside EcoVadis Platinum recognition.

Deloitte Switzerland recorded net revenue of CHF 586 million in the 2024/2025 financial year.

The slight drop from the previous year points to businesses’ cautious approach to investment amid a tortuous economic climate.

Audit & Assurance and Tax & Legal business lines grew by about 2% each, responding to rising demand for expertise in finance regulations, sustainability compliance, and national and international tax matters.

Meantime, the Advisory segment, which forms a substantial part of Deloitte Switzerland’s operations, declined by 11% due to companies delaying large projects amid geopolitical tensions, trade policy changes, and evolving regulations on tariffs and AI.

Reto Savoia, CEO of Deloitte Switzerland, said: “The past financial year was dominated by widespread geopolitical and economic policy uncertainty, which led clients to invest more cautiously.

“This uncertainty was exacerbated by stalled reforms both in Switzerland and some of its major trade partner countries. For our clients, this means having to navigate a highly volatile environment while facing increased cost pressure.”
