LM-FIC Sàrl has launched LM-FIC trustee services in Martigny that combine accounting, tax work, payroll and property management for clients in French-speaking Valais. The offer is aimed at SMEs, micro-enterprises, sole traders, company directors, entrepreneurs and private individuals who want one contact for several administrative and asset-related tasks.

The Martigny firm was founded by Lorik Murisier, who holds a Bachelor’s degree in business economics. His background spans work in a Valais trustee firm and four years in property management, including condominium administration, rental management, service-charge statements and dealings with owners and co-owners.

Trustee firms in Switzerland commonly support businesses and individuals with bookkeeping, tax filings and administrative obligations. LM-FIC is adding real estate management to that model, positioning the firm around clients whose business accounts, personal tax situation and property holdings may overlap.

What services does LM-FIC offer in Martigny?

LM-FIC’s service package has three main parts: accounting and administration, taxation, and real estate management. The firm lists bookkeeping, year-end closings, financial statements, payroll and social charges, VAT statements and business domiciliation among its accounting services.

On tax, the firm handles returns for individuals and legal entities, deadline planning and support during audits. LM-FIC says its tax optimization work is built around compliance with Valais cantonal rules and Swiss federal law.

The real estate side covers property management, condominium administration, rental oversight and service-charge statements. The firm also supports owners in reporting real estate income and property values for tax purposes.

Murisier said an SME owner who also owns a building may otherwise have to explain the same facts to separate advisers for accounts, taxes and property. By putting those tasks together, he said, LM-FIC aims to make decisions with a fuller view of the client file.

Who is the Martigny trustee firm targeting?

The firm is focused on French-speaking Valais, where many small companies and sole traders have limited internal capacity for administration. Its target clients include shops, tradespeople, liberal professions, small employers and private property owners.

LM-FIC’s one-point-of-contact pitch is meant to reduce coordination between separate providers, such as a bookkeeper, a tax adviser and a property manager. That may matter for clients who have VAT or payroll obligations as well as rental income or condominium responsibilities.

The company says a first client exchange reviews the activity, deadlines, current obligations and any real estate holdings before defining the scope of work. It works in French and is based at Rue de la Scierie 1 in Martigny.

Why combine trustee work and property management?

Accounting records, tax filings and property administration often share the same underlying information, including rental income, building expenses, payroll costs and VAT treatment. A combined file can reduce duplication when the same client has both business and real estate obligations.

LM-FIC is presenting its integrated trustee offering in Martigny as a smaller-scale alternative to dealing with multiple advisers. The firm’s stated approach is direct communication with the person responsible for the file, while keeping tax and administrative work within Swiss and Valais legal requirements.
