Your questions

An accountant in Geneva: let us get practical.

How much does an accountant cost for self-employed professionals or SMEs in Geneva?

For self-employed professionals: from CHF 99 excluding VAT per month without VAT return management and CHF 119 with it. For LLCs and corporations: from CHF 119 excluding VAT without VAT return management and CHF 139 with it. Pricing depends on document volume and complexity. Year-end closing and annual financial statements are included.

Are VAT, tax and payroll included?

VAT return management is included in the package with VAT management. The company tax return is included for LLCs and corporations. For self-employed professionals, the tax return is quoted separately. Payroll, members’ private tax returns and any takeover work are additional services specified in your quote.

Must a self-employed person keep accounts in Switzerland?

Yes. For a sole proprietorship with annual turnover below CHF 500,000, simplified records of income, expenses and assets are generally sufficient. From CHF 500,000, full accounting is required. An LLC or corporation keeps full accounts regardless of turnover. See the guidance on the federal SME Portal .

What is the difference between an accountant and a Swiss certified accountant?

An accountant handles tasks including bookkeeping and preparation of financial data. The Swiss certified accountant title attests to a recognised professional qualification in Switzerland. Sarah and Romain apply this expertise to organising, analysing and monitoring your engagement.

How do I send you invoices and supporting documents?

We set up a submission process through our digital platform and explain which documents to provide. Regular submissions help us process your accounts and prepare deadlines properly.

Are my figures updated in real time?

You can view available data on the platform. It reflects transactions already recorded: updates depend on document submission and processing by our team. The monitoring schedule is agreed at the start.

Can I change accountants during the year?

A mid-year takeover can be organised. We examine your current engagement, notice periods, work already completed and upcoming deadlines. We then agree the documents to transfer and the takeover date.

Can you take over overdue bookkeeping?

Yes. We first assess the financial years involved, available documents and returns to regularise. We propose a timetable and catch-up quote before setting up ongoing support.

Do I need to visit your Geneva office?

You can speak with us remotely, by phone or video call. If you prefer to meet, our firm is at Route de Chêne 5 in Geneva’s Eaux-Vives neighbourhood.

Is the first appointment free?

The introductory discussion about your needs and future support is free. For personalised advice on an accounting or tax question, choose a paid consultation on our appointment booking page . The two appointment types are clearly distinguished there.
