An accounting firm for clients across Switzerland

We are based in Geneva and work with clients across all 26 cantons, from Zurich to Lugano. In English or French, and mostly in writing, as we already do for most of our clients in Geneva.

01

Most of the rules are federal

A large part of what a company or a self-employed person has to do follows federal law, and works the same way in Zurich as in Geneva.

  • Accounting and financial statements, under the Code of Obligations
  • VAT, declared to the Federal Tax Administration
  • Payroll and social insurance: AHV/AVS, unemployment insurance, occupational pension, accident insurance, with salary declarations in the ELM standard
  • Company formation and the commercial register
  • Federal direct tax

Cantonal tax and deadlines

  1. Cantonal and communal tax

    Rates, deductions and assessment practice vary from one canton to the next. We prepare your return under the rules of your canton, not Geneva's.

  2. Filing deadlines

    Each canton sets its own deadline and its own conditions for an extension. Our calendar of deadlines covers all 26 cantons, each with its source and the date we checked it.

  3. Withholding tax

    Tariffs are set canton by canton. Our calculator applies the official tariffs of all 26.

  4. Your company and your private tax return

    The same people can handle both: your company's accounts and tax, and your own tax return, including the year you arrive in or leave Switzerland.

Common questions

  1. Do I need an accounting firm in my own canton?

    No. You can entrust your accounting and tax to a firm in another canton. What matters is that it applies the rules of yours: deadlines, tariffs and assessment practice. We work under the rules of the canton where your company or your home is.

  2. Can you handle both my company and my private tax return?

    Yes, and it saves you explaining the same situation twice.

  3. How can I check who you are?

    We are a member of FIDUCIAIRE|SUISSE, the Swiss professional association of accounting and tax firms, and our company is entered in the commercial register under the number shown at the bottom of every page.

Regional pages

The cantons of French-speaking Switzerland, and Bern, each have their own page: deadlines, tariffs and local practice.
