Accounting catch-up in Geneva
Are several months or financial years overdue? Karpeo catches up accounts for self-employed professionals, SMEs, LLCs and corporations. We first assess the backlog, then rebuild and review the accounts without judgement or unrealistic promises.
Swiss certified accountants The catch-up is completed by an accounting team and supervised by an expert.
A judgement-free catch-up
We begin by establishing your actual position.
An accounting backlog may result from lack of time, a change of accountant, incomplete documents or rapid growth. Our role is to restore order and provide a realistic path to completion.

What we bring up to date
From the initial review to finalised annual accounts.
Catching up accounts is not simply a matter of quickly entering missing transactions. Movements must be reconstructed, balances checked and the consequences for the company’s obligations addressed.
Catch-up of entries and reconciliations
Our team records outstanding transactions, reconciles bank accounts and checks balances to rebuild consistent accounts.
VAT, payroll and required corrections
Where required, we coordinate VAT returns, payroll items and corrections relating to the catch-up periods.
Up-to-date closing and balance sheet
We prepare closing entries, the balance sheet and income statement, then explain the resulting position clearly.

Urgent annual accounts
Is a deadline approaching? We begin by explaining what is realistically possible.
A bank request, annual accounts, VAT return or tax filing may require urgent prioritisation. We first examine the deadline and data availability before confirming a schedule.
The aim is not to promise immediate annual accounts. It is to produce reliable information in the right order and explain clearly what still depends on documents or approval.

Frequently asked questions
What to know before bringing your accounts up to date.
How does an accounting catch-up begin?
We begin with a review of the last completed period, transaction volume, bank accounts, VAT, payroll, deadlines and available documents. This lets us define priorities, schedule and price before starting.
Can you prepare urgent annual accounts?
Yes, depending on the state of the file, available documents and deadline. We first assess what can be produced reliably within the requested time. If everything cannot be finalised immediately, we propose a realistic order of priority.
Can you catch up several months or financial years?
Yes. We can catch up a few months or several financial years. The longer the period, the more important the initial review becomes for checking opening balances, returns already filed and inconsistencies between years.
What happens if accounting documents are missing?
A missing document does not automatically stop the entire catch-up. We prepare a precise list, identify available sources with you and distinguish essential documents from those that can be reconstructed or obtained from a third party.
Do you catch up accounts for self-employed professionals, SMEs, LLCs and corporations?
Yes. Karpeo assists sole proprietorships, liberal professions, SMEs, LLCs and corporations. The method is adapted to the legal structure, entry volume and obligations.
How much does an accounting catch-up cost?
The price depends on the number of months or financial years, transaction volume, data quality, missing documents and deadline. After the initial review, you receive a quote specifying the scope and work included.
Can you obtain data from my former accounting firm?
Yes. With your agreement, we can organise the transfer of relevant data and documents. We then check the information received before using it in the catch-up.
What happens once the accounts are up to date?
You can entrust ongoing accounting to us to prevent a new backlog. We then define a document schedule, each party’s responsibilities and upcoming deadlines.
Do you work only in Geneva?
Our offices are in Eaux-Vives, Geneva, while our working methods allow us to catch up accounts throughout French-speaking Switzerland.
