Reliable figures – from day-to-day bookkeeping to the annual accounts.

Accounting is our core business – for companies and organisations from many different industries. We take over as much as you want and set up your accounting so that it works for you.

  • Accounting

    Ongoing financial accounting with receivables, payables and account reconciliation, VAT returns and meaningful reports – plus liquidity planning, budgets and preparation for meetings with your bank.

  • Payroll

    Monthly payslips, salary certificates, withholding tax and expenses – correct and on time, even as your team grows.

  • Social insurance

    Old-age and survivors’ insurance (AHV), disability and unemployment insurance, pension fund, accident and sickness benefit insurance: we handle registrations, declarations and settlements.

  • Annual accounts and tax

    Annual financial statements with balance sheet and income statement, tax returns for companies and private individuals, and other levies – prepared so that you understand what the figures mean.

  • Switching fiduciary

    We take over your existing accounting – ideally at the start of a new financial year. We clarify with you what the switch requires and plan the handover together.

  • Succession

    A good handover starts with clean figures. We prepare them, support the handover and help with restructuring.

As much as you want to hand over.

Every business is organised differently. That is why we adapt the division of work to you – and adjust it when your needs change.

You hand over

We take care of accounting, payroll, VAT and annual accounts. You send us your receipts – digitally or on paper – and receive reliable figures.

A good fit if you want to devote your time entirely to your business.

You do the bookkeeping

Your team handles day-to-day bookkeeping. We take care of account reconciliation, annual accounts and tax, check the quality and help you manage with the figures.

A good fit if someone in your team does the bookkeeping and you want certainty on the complex parts.

Integrated into your business

A seamless digital process from receipt to report – with the right software, interfaces and automation where it pays off.

A good fit if you want to leave duplicate data entry and paper filing behind.

What has changed for our clients.

Two examples from our work, anonymised.

Market entry in Switzerland

European NGO · market entry strategy and accounting

Today

The market entry has succeeded: the organisation has been operating in Switzerland for several years. Today we also run its accounting.

Starting point
A European non-governmental organisation wants to establish itself in Switzerland and needs a sound basis for the decision and for building up its activities.
Approach
We analyse the market and develop the business case. Building on this, we define the organisation, goals, annual plans and the approach – including people strategy and cooperation with the parent organisation.

Business with several lines of activity

Handed over · reorganised

Today

Annual accounts and social insurance are in order, the collaboration runs efficiently – and day-to-day work is noticeably easier.

Starting point
The business switches to us: payroll, invoices, accounting and tax first need to be brought up to date.
Approach
We tidy up and restructure accounting and office work with a clear division of tasks: what the business does well itself stays in the business. The accounting now runs web-based.

When your business needs more than bookkeeping.

Many clients entrust us with their accounting, others bring us in for strategy work or coaching. Each service stands on its own – and can be combined when you need more, with people who already know your business.

Digitally connected, personally present – across Switzerland.

Whether in Appenzell, Zurich or around Zug: we work with you in the way that suits your everyday business.

  • Digital day to day

    Receipts, accounting and reports are handled digitally. You can reach us by phone, email or video call – no travel needed.

  • In person when it matters

    We discuss important decisions face to face – at your premises, in Gonten, in Oberwil or by video call.

  • On site at your business

    Seeing your business helps us understand processes, people and how things fit together. That is why we visit you – at the start and whenever something changes.

Frequently asked questions.

Can you support us when setting up a business in Switzerland?

Yes – on the strategic side: we assess the market and customers with you, develop the business case and plan the organisation, goals and first years, up to a well-founded decision. The legal formation itself, such as notarisation and registration with the commercial register, is handled by a notary and the commercial register office. From the first day of business, we can take over your accounting.

In which languages can we work together?

All our services are available in English and German. Simply write to us in the language you prefer.

Can I switch to you from my current fiduciary?

Yes. The easiest time to switch is at the start of a new financial year. We help you clarify what is needed and plan the handover with you.

Can I hand over only part of the accounting?

Yes. Many clients do their own bookkeeping and leave account reconciliation, annual accounts and tax to us. We agree the division of work together and adjust it when your needs change.

Which accounting software do you work with?

We work with various accounting software and have experience with Abacus, Atlanto and Proffix, among others. We are happy to work with your existing solution – or advise you on choosing a suitable one.

What does accounting cost?

The effort depends on the number of receipts and employees and on the division of work. Lean structures and digital processes keep it manageable – and what you do yourself, you do not pay for. After the initial consultation you receive a binding quote.

Do you also prepare tax returns for private individuals?

Yes. We prepare tax returns for companies and for private individuals – for example for you as the owner.

Do you only work in Appenzell and Zug?

No. We work for clients throughout Switzerland – digitally and, when it matters, on site at your business. Our offices are in Gonten (Appenzell Innerrhoden) and in Oberwil near Zug. Your contact for accounting is Irene Schuler in Oberwil near Zug; in Appenzell you can reach Susanne Bolter at our head office in Gonten.

Let’s talk about your business.

The initial consultation is free and without obligation. We usually reply within one working day.
