The basics
What does outsourced accounting mean?
Your company's ongoing financial accounting – professionally managed, fully digital, in Canton Zug.
Outsourced accounting – also called fiduciary accounting – means that an external provider keeps your company's financial accounting instead of you doing it in-house. At domizilservice24 we post your receipts on an ongoing basis, keep the general ledger and prepare the balance sheet and income statement under Swiss law at year-end.
In Switzerland every GmbH and AG is required to keep accounts under Art. 957 ff. of the Swiss Code of Obligations; sole proprietors from an annual turnover of CHF 500,000.– to ordinary (double-entry) bookkeeping; below that, simplified accounting of income, expenses and assets suffices. Properly kept accounting is therefore not optional but mandatory – and the basis for the tax return, bank discussions and the shareholders' meeting.
With us the entire process is digital: you submit receipts online, we post them promptly, and you can see your figures at any time. This frees up time for your core business while you keep full cost control through a predictable fixed fee. As the entire process is digital, we serve companies throughout Canton Zug and across Switzerland – regardless of your location.
Ideal in combination with your business address in Baar (Zug) – everything from one source. What the low tax burden in Canton Zug means for your company is shown by our tax calculator for Canton Zug.

FAQ about accounting in Canton Zug
What does accounting in Canton Zug cost? +
At domizilservice24, accounting starts from CHF 89.–/month (excl. VAT). We set the exact price individually – it depends on legal form, document volume, VAT obligation and number of employees. After a short call you receive a transparent fixed fee with no hidden costs.
What is included in the accounting service? +
Included are ongoing bookkeeping (posting receipts, general ledger), VAT accounting and the annual financial statements with balance sheet and income statement under Swiss law. On request we also handle payroll. The exact scope is set out in your quote.
Which software do you use for the accounting? +
We work with various established Swiss accounting programs and choose the right one for your company. The accounting is fully digital: you have access to up-to-date figures at any time, submit receipts conveniently online and work from anywhere – without paper folders or local software.
Do I need an office on site for the accounting? +

Show 6 more questions Hide the additional questions
Do you also handle the VAT return? +
Yes. We prepare your VAT return (effective or net tax rate method) and file it with the Swiss Federal Tax Administration on time. This avoids late-payment interest and keeps input tax under control. The Swiss standard rate is currently 8.1%.
How do I submit my receipts to you? +
Fully digital: you upload receipts, invoices and bank statements online or forward them to us by e-mail. We post them on an ongoing basis so your general ledger is always current. Paper receipts can simply be photographed – a physical folder is not required.
Do you also prepare financial statements under Swiss GAAP FER or IFRS? +
Yes. In addition to statements under the Swiss Code of Obligations, on request we prepare financial statements under Swiss GAAP FER or IFRS – for example when banks, investors or membership in an international group require reporting to a recognised standard. Talk to us about your requirements.
Can I switch my existing accounting to you? +
Yes, a switch is possible at any time – including mid-year. For a clean handover we usually just need the opening balance or trial balance of the previous year and a digital export of your existing data. We coordinate the rest with you and your previous fiduciary office.
Do you also handle the audit? +
The ordinary or limited audit is reserved by law for an independent auditor and is therefore not part of our accounting. We prepare your financial statements in an audit-ready form and work with auditors where needed.
Do you also offer tax advice? +
Comprehensive tax advice is not part of the accounting package – but with the annual statements and the VAT return we deliver the clean basis for your tax return, and for the actual tax optimisation we work with specialised tax and legal partners where needed.
