Everything that matters about limited statutory audit online in Satigny
Limited statutory audit online in Satigny rests on three pillars: federal law that applies across Switzerland, cantonal deadlines worth knowing, and tools that eliminate re-keying. This guide puts it all in order, fact by fact.
Year-end closing: how the mechanics work
The closing is prepared all year long: a monthly bank reconciliation and accruals tracked as you go turn the year-end into a formality, for businesses in Satigny too.
For limited statutory audit, a closing checklist reused every year transforms the exercise: same steps, same checks, same documents — only the year changes.
The Swiss legal frame for limited statutory audit
Three documents summarise the health of a Swiss business: the balance sheet (what it owns), the income statement (what it earns) and the notes (what else you should know). All the work of limited statutory audit converges on those three pages, in Satigny too.
The good news: the Swiss frame is stable and predictable. Structure limited statutory audit once — chart of accounts, document flow, calendar — and the same organisation pays off for years.
A Swiss SME's accounting calendar
Three families of deadlines shape the year: federal (VAT within 60 days, salary declaration in January), cantonal (tax return, extensions depending on the canton, including in Satigny) and internal (closing, general meeting within six months). Mixing them up is the leading cause of delays.
An SME in Satigny that holds its calendar twelve months straight changes its position: fewer official reminders, easier extensions — and limited statutory audit stops being a source of worry.
Outsource limited statutory audit or keep it in-house?
A good test before choosing: ask the fiduciary HOW it wants to receive the documents. A precise answer (formats, frequency, platform) says more than any brochure — including in Satigny.
For limited statutory audit, a quarterly 30-minute check-in with the fiduciary beats an annual marathon: questions get handled while they are small.
Satigny: what changes, what does not
Working with a fiduciary from Satigny no longer depends on geography: the documents of a business in Satigny are shared online, while the canton Geneva keeps its own deadlines for the tax return.
Satigny requires no special bookkeeping: the Code of Obligations applies at postal code 1242 as everywhere else, and a well-kept digital file transfers smoothly to any auditor in the canton.
Frequently asked questions
How much does limited statutory audit cost in Satigny?
It depends on document volume, the number of salaries and VAT complexity — no serious figure can be quoted without examining the file. Two levers cut the bill everywhere: digitised, well-filed receipts and software that prepares entries instead of having them re-keyed.
Do you need a fiduciary for limited statutory audit, or can you do it yourself?
Both are defensible. Below CHF 500,000 of revenue, a sole proprietorship may keep simplified accounts itself. As soon as payroll, VAT and a closing with tax stakes are involved, professional support prevents mistakes that cost more than the fees. With a shared platform, the fiduciary does not even need to be in Satigny.
Which social contributions does a Swiss employer pay?
AHV/IV/APG: 5.3% employer share (the same is withheld from the employee); unemployment insurance: 1.1% each up to CHF 148,200 a year; occupational pension (LPP) by age and plan (employer at least 50%); occupational accident insurance paid by the employer; family allowances by canton. For an employer in Satigny, family allowances follow the canton's rates.
