Source text - English 1. Executive Summary
We intend to offer first class trustee services in Zurich. Since the ratification of the Hague Convention on Trusts, a number of different trust businesses have set up in Switzerland. Many such businesses do not offer an Anglo-Saxon style, accountancy-driven trustee services. A number of banks in Switzerland offer trustee services in addition to their investment management services. However, it is known from experience that a number of these in-house trusts are not rigorously run and might not stand up to scrutiny from a foreign tax authority.
Translation - German 1. Zusammenfassung
Wir wollen erstklassige Dienstleistungen für Treuhänder in Zürch anbieten. Seidem das Haager Abkommen für Vertrauensstellungen ratifiziert wurde haben eine Reihe verschiedener Treuhänder-Firmen ihren Sitz in die Schweiz verlagert. Viele dieser Unternehmen bieten hingegen keine Rechnungswesen-gesteuerte Dienstleistungen für Treuhänder nach angelsächsischem Stil. Eine Reihe von schweizer Banken bieten hingegen Treuhänder-Dienste zusätzlich zu ihren Dienstleistungen im Bereich der Vermögensverwaltung. Allerdings ist bereits aus Erfahrungen bekannt, dass eine Reihe dieser hauseigenen Treuhand-Dienstleistungen nicht rigoros betrieben werden und einer Kontrolle durch ausländische Steuerbehörden nicht standhalten.

Bio
My name is Michael, an Architect by training and a native English speaker (en_GB). My lifelong passion for languages and for the written word quite naturally leads me to a career in translation and creative writing which led me to enroll for GroBes Deutsches Sprachdiplom (GDS) course and IoL Diploma in Translation (German;major, Dutch/French/Italian;minor). My experience in translation has come through working as an Architect + Translator for over 3 years in General, Commerce/Industry, Organic Product, Construction, General Medicine, General Engineering and IT Domains. As an architect, I'm stick to my PC 24/7, drafting, modelling or translating. So, I'll sure be available almost all the time.
My burst translation capacity is 2500 words a day.
My philosophy:Translating is an unrelenting endeavor to craft words into a perfect work of art; it requires both technique, passion and talent.
I pride myself in delivering high quality translations, as well as a professional service, which means that:
-My translations are delivered on time

-They use the relevant terminology and are well-written
-My translations provide good value for money

-I translate by default into en_GB as I was raised and by that had all my academic training
