International standards — without using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

In Switzerland, IFRS and Swiss GAAP FER are the main frameworks in use. For a long time only large international groups applied them. With fast-growing companies expanding abroad early on, the need for recognised accounting standards has increasingly reached SMEs too.

With our pragmatic SME approach we offer an alternative to the Big 4. We explore every option the standards allow, leave out what is not needed and choose the variant you can actually handle in practice with your existing resources.

When does it pay off?

FAQ

Good to know.

IFRS or Swiss GAAP FER — which suits us?

For most Swiss SMEs and mid-sized groups, Swiss GAAP FER is the right fit: recognised, but considerably leaner. IFRS pays off mainly with international investors, a listing on an international exchange segment or a foreign parent company. We advise you independently.

Who is required to apply a recognised standard?

Under Art. 962 of the Swiss Code of Obligations this includes listed companies (if required by the stock exchange), cooperatives with at least 2,000 members and foundations subject to an ordinary audit. In addition, shareholders representing at least 20% of the share capital, for example, can request accounts under a recognised standard.

Can you work under our name as a fiduciary partner?

Yes. We carry out IFRS work for your clients in the background and under your name — you keep the client relationship, we provide the expertise.
