Bookkeeping Obligation & Opportunities: What Swiss Businesses Must Know

According to Articles 957 ff. of the Swiss Code of Obligations (CO), all legal entities (e.g., AG, GmbH) and sole proprietorships with annual revenue over CHF 500,000 are required to maintain proper accounting.
However, this requirement should not be seen as a burden – but as a tool for making smart financial decisions.

A structured accounting system helps with:
● Tax planning
● Financing
● Investor presentations
● Business optimization
