SME chart of accounts for engineering firms in Nuglar-St. Pantaleon without the stress: how it works
Whether you run a Sàrl, an SA or a sole proprietorship in Nuglar-St. Pantaleon, SME chart of accounts eventually lands on your desk. Here are the practical reference points — legal basis, deadlines and common pitfalls — to decide with a clear head.
The Swiss legal frame for SME chart of accounts
In Switzerland, the duty to keep accounts stems from art. 957 ff. of the Code of Obligations. Legal entities (Sàrl, SA) and sole proprietorships with at least CHF 500,000 in revenue keep full accounts: balance sheet, income statement and notes. Below that threshold, a simplified record of income, expenses and assets is sufficient.

Outsource SME chart of accounts or keep it in-house?

The choice widens to all of Switzerland — competence becomes the criterion again, not the postcode.
