Family-Office Operations · Geneva — Dubai

The work behind the wealth.

MLE Services is the operational partner behind private wealth — a family office, a private individual, or an entrepreneur whose time is better spent elsewhere — executing payments, reconciling across private accounts, foundations and trusts, and carrying the recurring work principals would rather not hold themselves. Genevan fiduciary discipline, based in Dubai, working with a handful of clients worldwide.

The proposition

A principal should not spend an evening checking whether a payment cleared.

Ultra-high-net-worth principals operate across several banking relationships, legal structures and jurisdictions — often on more than one continent. The operational layer — instructing payments, matching them against statements, reconciling movements between a private account, a foundation and a trust — is exacting, repetitive, and unforgiving of error.

It is also precisely the work that demands the most discretion and the least visibility. We take it on as a single, accountable point of operation, so the principal and their advisors can attend to everything else.

01 — Discretion

Swiss by tradition

Confidentiality is not a policy here, it is the practice. We name no clients, disclose nothing, and treat every instruction as private. Our reputation rests on what is never said.

02 — Precision

Reconciled, not assumed

Every payment is documented, controlled and matched. Nothing is taken on trust that can instead be verified.

03 — Capacity

Four clients a year, at most

We hold no more than four mandates at a time, by design. Capacity is reserved, never sold — so each client, wherever they are based, has our full operational attention.

What we do

Operating under mandate.

We act as the operational hand of the family office — the link between its director, the family's banks, its lawyers and our Geneva office. Our remit is defined by the family, not by a fixed product.

01

Payments & Treasury Execution

Preparing, controlling and overseeing payments across multiple banking relationships. Each instruction is verified, documented and traceable — from authorisation through to confirmed settlement.

Banking liaison · Authorisation control · Settlement tracking
02

Reconciliation & Multi-Entity Oversight

Reconciling movements across private accounts, foundations and trusts. The meticulous, recurring matching that principals prefer to delegate — kept current, clean and audit-ready.

03

Operational Liaison

A single, accountable point of contact between the principal, banks, lawyers, fiduciaries and our Geneva partner — so nothing falls between advisors and nothing is repeated twice.

04

Reporting & Coordination with our Geneva office

Consolidated visibility across structures, with accounting and compliance. Genevan rigour upstream; operational presence in Dubai downstream.

Consolidated reporting · Accounting · Compliance coordination

We hold no more than four mandates a year. We publish no fees, name no clients, and take on no volume. Each engagement begins with a private, confidential conversation.

The firm

A Genevan house, based in Dubai.

MLE Services brings together two things that rarely sit in the same place: the discipline of a long-standing Geneva fiduciary, and a hands-on operational presence beside those it serves — based in Dubai, working worldwide.

Heritage

Two generations of fiduciary practice, one continuous standard.

Our work is anchored by Fiduciaire Investissa in Geneva, led by Yvan Faoro — decades of fiduciary, accounting and management practice serving private clients and businesses.

From that foundation, MLE Services was established in October 2022 to be present where the family operates day to day: close enough to act, disciplined enough to be trusted with the detail.
