Everything that matters about limited statutory audit for landscaping firms in Jongny
Limited statutory audit for landscaping firms in Jongny 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 income statement reads as a cascade: gross margin, operating result, financial result, extraordinary result. Each level answers a different question — mixing levels blurs the steering.
A company in Jongny that presents clean, punctual annual accounts gains credibility — with its bank, its suppliers and the tax administration.
Outsource limited statutory audit or keep it in-house?
Outsourcing limited statutory audit to a fiduciary frees up time and secures compliance; keeping it in-house preserves a continuous view and costs less in fees. The best answer is often hybrid: the company captures and digitises as it goes, the fiduciary supervises, closes the books and represents the company before the authorities.
A business in Jongny is no longer limited to fiduciaries in its canton: with a shared online platform, collaboration works remotely, documents and entries visible to both sides in real time. The choice widens to all of Switzerland — competence becomes the criterion again, not the postcode.
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 Jongny too.
For limited statutory audit, the classic early mistake remains mixing private and business: a dedicated bank account and documented private withdrawals eliminate half the discussions with the tax office.
A well-structured SME chart of accounts
The same chart serves three readings: accounting (accuracy), tax (accepted adjustments) and management (margins by activity). Modern software produces all three views without double entry.
For limited statutory audit, a few well-chosen analytical accounts (by activity, by site) beat a forest of sub-accounts nobody ever reads.
Jongny: what changes, what does not
Jongny (postal code 1805, canton Vaud) applies the same federal rules as the rest of the country: what changes in Jongny are the cantonal counterparts — tax administration, compensation office, commercial register.
Federal deadlines do not move in Jongny: VAT within 60 days, salary declaration in January, 10-year record retention — postal code 1805 changes nothing about those rules, only the sender's address.
Frequently asked questions
What is simplified bookkeeping and who can use it?
Sole proprietorships and partnerships under CHF 500,000 of revenue may limit themselves to recording income, expenses and assets (art. 957 para. 2 CO). Once over the threshold — or upon founding a Sàrl or an SA — full accounts with balance sheet, income statement and notes become mandatory. The CHF 500,000 threshold is assessed the same way in Jongny.
What is the difference between a limited and an ordinary audit?
The ordinary audit applies to companies exceeding, for two consecutive years, two of three thresholds: CHF 20 million balance sheet total, CHF 40 million revenue, 250 full-time positions. Others fall under the limited audit, and those with no more than ten full-time positions on annual average can opt out with all shareholders' consent. These federal thresholds do not depend on the registered seat — in Jongny as anywhere.
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 Jongny.
