What a specialist CPA handles for this move
Canton matters enormously
Effective tax rates vary widely between cantons. Where you settle is itself a tax decision โ ideally made before signing a lease.
Lump-sum taxation

Banking & reporting
Swiss accounts trigger FBAR and FATCA obligations, and many Swiss banks have specific requirements for US persons. Plan the banking setup early.
