Accounting is the basis for entrepreneurial decision making. We analyse operating results against both budget and the previous year, and define objectives for the medium term.
Accounting
Once registered in the Commercial Register, companies domiciled in Switzerland are required to keep accounts. Registration in the Commercial Register is only required if a commercial business is carried on. Certain industries are exempt from registration if their gross annual turnover is less than CHF 100,000.
Managing your own accounting requires not only expertise, but also time and infrastructure. If required, we can take care of your bookkeeping and prepare your VAT returns and annual accounts so that you can concentrate on your business. We’ll also take care of your payroll and social security reporting.
Accounting is the basis for business decisions, not just the processing of numbers. We analyze with you the latest results of your business, including a budget comparison and a comparison with the previous year’s results. We work with you to develop your business plan, which allows us to define your medium-term business goals.
