Why our Swiss accounting service

Cantonal CIT optimization

We model your effective rate by canton + commune monthly, flagging when relocations or restructurings would unlock 3-9 percentage point savings. Many Swiss accountants don't think this way.

VAT (8.1%) handling

Standard rate 8.1% (raised from 7.7% in 2024), reduced 2.6% / 3.8%. Threshold for mandatory registration: CHF 100K turnover. Quarterly returns to the ESTV.

Audit-threshold modeling

Ordinary audit triggered by 2 of: CHF 20M revenue, CHF 10M balance, 50 employees. Limited audit at lower thresholds. We forecast crossings and prep the audit-ready books in advance.

Multi-currency native

Books in CHF, EUR, USD, or any reporting currency. Cantonal authorities accept any of the four official languages; we route correspondence to the right team member.

Sample testimonial
"Crossed the limited-audit threshold in year 3. Our books were already audit-ready because of how the bookkeeping had been done, saved us a 6-week restatement. Auditor signed off in 4 days."
