Accounting for GmbH and AG: good to know
What do the annual accounts of a GmbH or AG include?
Balance sheet, income statement and notes (Art. 958 CO). Larger companies additionally need a management report and a cash flow statement. The annual accounts are the basis for the general meeting and the corporate tax return.
When do the annual accounts have to be ready?
The general meeting takes place within six months of the financial year end and approves the annual accounts. For a financial year ending 31 December, that means by the end of June. We plan the closing so you meet this deadline comfortably.
Does my GmbH need an auditor?
Small companies with no more than ten full-time positions on annual average can waive the limited audit with the consent of all shareholders (opting out, Art. 727a CO). We clarify with you whether this suits your company.
Is your accounting digital?
Yes. You send us receipts as scans or photos and we set up the interfaces you need. Meetings are possible in Winterthur or by video.
