Zühlke has announced the acquisition of nxt digital, a boutique advisory firm focused on digital transformation in financial services.

nxt digital will continue to operate as a separate entity under the name nxt, part of Zühlke Group.

The acquisition combines Zühlke’s engineering and delivery capabilities with nxt digital’s banking sector expertise and executive advisory services.

The firms said the combined offering is intended to provide end-to-end support for financial services clients, from strategy and advisory through to implementation.

“This acquisition brings together best-in-class capabilities in financial services transformation. By combining strategic advisory with our strong engineering and execution expertise, we can deliver even greater value and measurable impact for our clients,”

said Gregor Bieler, CEO of Zühlke Group.

For clients operating in complex, technology-driven environments, the integrated approach is expected to support more coordinated delivery across strategy and execution.

Zühlke and nxt digital have worked together since 2024.

The acquisition is intended to support growth for both organisations and expand their joint offering, particularly in the insurance sector.

“Joining Zühlke is a natural next step following our successful collaboration. It allows us to scale our consulting expertise on a broader platform, access new opportunities, and continue growing our business, while delivering even greater value to our clients,”

said Fabian Lötscher, Founding Partner at nxt digital.
