Limited Audit in Switzerland: Definition, Criteria and Process Explained
The limited audit is the statutory audit that applies to most Swiss AGs and GmbHs. It covers every company that is too small for an ordinary audit and has not waived the audit altogether. The auditor reviews the annual accounts and reports to shareholders, which gives owners, banks and investors a basic level of comfort. In this article, we explain what a limited audit is and who needs one. We then cover what the auditor examines, how the process runs, what the report says and what it costs.

How to Change Your Auditor in Switzerland: Steps, Timing & Checklist
Companies change their audit body (Revisionsstelle) for practical reasons: fees, service, growth or a conflict with the firm that keeps their books. The law allows it, but how easy it is depends on when you act. This article explains when you can change your auditor, the steps between election and register filing, how long it takes, what happens to the audit files and what it costs. We also provide a practical checklist to help you through the process of changing your auditor in Switzerland.

The Revisionsstelle Explained: What a Swiss Statutory Audit Body Does and When You Need One
Every Swiss AG and GmbH is required to have a Revisionsstelle (audit body) unless it has completed a valid opting-out. It sits alongside the general meeting and the board as one of the company's governance bodies, and its job is to tell shareholders whether the accounts can be trusted. This article explains what the Revisionsstelle is, what it examines, what its report actually says, who is qualified to hold the mandate, and how the body is appointed and replaced.

A statutory audit is the independent check of your company's annual accounts required under Swiss law. But not every company needs one, and many can avoid it entirely.

This article explains what a statutory audit involves, who has to get one, and the difference between an ordinary and a limited audit. We'll also look at when small companies can skip the audit entirely, what changed under the law in 2025, who's allowed to act as your auditor, and how to keep the process efficient.

Audit Costs in Switzerland: What Does a Limited Audit Cost?
Most Swiss AGs and GmbHs are legally required to have their annual financial statements audited. For the vast majority of SMEs, this entails a limited audit; a streamlined review that's less intensive and less expensive than a full ordinary audit. Yet audit costs remain one of the most common questions business owners ask when planning their annual compliance budget. This article covers what a limited audit costs in Switzerland, the key factors that drive pricing, how limited and ordinary audits differ, and practical steps you can take to keep your audit costs manageable.

Switzerland's New Transparency Law (TJPG): What Companies Must Know

This represents one of the most significant compliance changes for Swiss businesses in recent years, affecting nearly all AGs and GmbHs. This article explains who must comply, what information must be reported, key deadlines, and penalties for non-compliance. Whether you're a startup founder, an established SME, or managing a foreign entity with Swiss operations, understanding these obligations is essential for maintaining legal compliance.

The OECD Minimum Tax: What Swiss Businesses Need to Know About the 15% Global Tax Floor

This article examines what the OECD minimum tax means for Swiss businesses, how Switzerland implemented it following a 2023 referendum, which companies are affected, and what the future holds after the US withdrawal.

Coordination Deduction 2025: Complete Guide for Swiss Employers and Employees
Understanding the “coordination deduction” is vital for proper pension planning in Switzerland. The CHF 26,460 deduction (as of 2025) directly affects how much of your salary gets insured under the second pillar. This seemingly minor technical detail can have a major impact on retirement security and presents challenges for part-time workers and those with multiple employees. This guide covers everything you need to know about the coordination deduction: what it is, how it's calculated, whether employers can waive or reduce it, its impact on part-time workers and multiple job holders, and the implications of the failed BVG 21 reform.

- Martin Gerber
I have been a Nexova customer for some time now and so far I am very satisfied! Thanks to the digital working methods and high responsiveness of the client managers, little time is lost in the daily process in particular. The prices are also very fair. Nexova handles the annual financial statements for me, including the tax balance sheet. The processes are standardized, which is a great advantage for audits (AHV and taxes). The two founders are two young, innovative guys and very serious.
- Florian Kreidler

My contacts at Nexova are always very friendly and pleasant to deal with. The complete package is simply TOP and I can only recommend Nexova!

- Raphael H.April 7, 2023
We are very satisfied with Nexova as our trustee. Thanks to the Teams group chat, I can always count on very fast response times (of a few minutes). The Teams Chat group is great. With our old trustee, we had to write mails and always had to wait a long time for an answer and on top of that we were charged for every little question. Fortunately, this is not the case with Nexova.
- Philip ReckFebruary 25, 2023
Nexova solved my problem with a non-paying tenant quickly and efficiently. I was simply overwhelmed with the situation and glad for the competent legal advice. Nexova handled everything from the reminder with threat of termination, to representation in court, to the police eviction quickly, efficiently and also inexpensively. Many thanks for the valuable help.

Consulting firms require a range of accounting services including day-to-day bookkeeping, VAT reporting, payroll management for employees and contractors, corporate tax filings, and the preparation of annual financial statements. Nexova offers all these services and more—fully digitally without any complications.
If your annual turnover exceeds CHF 100,000, you must register for VAT. Consulting firms working with international clients must be particularly mindful of VAT obligations, as cross-border services may trigger different reporting requirements. Nexova ensures your VAT registration, invoicing, and tax filings are fully compliant.
Incorporating as a GmbH or AG is generally a good idea once your revenue is steady, your client base expands, or your personal liability risk increases. Operating as a legal entity provides liability protection, tax advantages, and a more professional market presence. Nexova helps you assess the right timing and guides you through a smooth setup process.
Digital accounting tools give consulting companies instant access to real-time financial data, making it easier to monitor cash flow, manage project expenses, and issue invoices efficiently. Nexova’s cloud-based systems let you manage your finances from anywhere, without having to deal with cumbersome paperwork, in-person office visits, or annoying delays.
Yes. Many consulting firms work with a blend of employees and independent contractors. Nexova handles payroll processing, social insurance contributions, and withholding taxes for employees while also correctly booking payments to freelancers. We ensure compliance with Swiss labor regulations so you can manage flexible teams without added complexity.
