Additional Business Support in Switzerland (Finance & Operations for GmbH/AG)

Additional business support is a set of practical finance-and-operations services that sit next to accounting and tax. The aim is to make your Swiss GmbH/AG easier to run: cleaner processes, better visibility, fewer surprises, and stronger decision-making—without building a full internal finance department.

This menu section typically covers:

  • Accounting software setup

  • Budgeting & cash-flow planning

  • Corporate secretarial recordkeeping (finance-related)

What “additional business support” includes

Accounting software setup

We help you implement a finance stack that is scalable, audit-friendly, and easy for management to use:

  • Chart of accounts structure aligned with your model (trading, SaaS, services, holding)

  • Document workflow design (invoices, receipts, approvals, storage)

  • Bank feed / import setup and reconciliation routines

  • User roles and internal controls (who can post, approve, export, pay)

  • Month-end close checklist embedded into the workflow

  • Reporting views: P&L, balance sheet, cash view, KPI dashboard (scope-based)

Budgeting & cash-flow planning

We build budgeting and cash planning as a management tool—not as a theoretical spreadsheet:

  • Annual budget setup (revenue, costs, payroll, capex)

  • Rolling forecast (3–12 months) with scenario logic

  • Cash conversion mapping (invoices → collections; expenses → payment calendar)

  • Working capital visibility (AR/AP ageing, payment terms, concentration risks)

  • “Runway” indicators and early-warning triggers for management

Corporate secretarial recordkeeping (finance-related)

We organise and maintain finance-critical corporate records so decisions are defensible:

  • Finance-related board/shareholder resolutions (approvals, distributions, loans)

  • Shareholder loan schedules and interest logic (where applicable)

  • Equity movement documentation support (capital changes, share transfers—coordination only if in scope)

  • Indexing of supporting documents for audits, banks, and due diligence

  • Finance governance discipline: signature rules, approval matrix, evidence trail

Who this service is for

Additional business support is a fit if you are:

  • A founder-managed Swiss GmbH/AG who wants strong control without internal overhead

  • A foreign-owned subsidiary that needs finance routines suitable for consolidation and group oversight

  • A business preparing for bank onboarding, financing, investment, or M&A

  • A company scaling quickly and outgrowing “informal” accounting processes

  • A trading or project-based business where margins and cash timing must be managed tightly

  • A company that wants to reduce risk from ad-hoc payments and undocumented decisions

Benefits of additional business support

  • Better decisions: management sees drivers, not only totals

  • Cash clarity: predictable payment schedules and runway visibility

  • Lower compliance risk: documentation and approvals reduce reclassification and audit issues

  • Faster closes: month-end routines reduce year-end cost and stress

  • Bank readiness: clean governance and reporting reduces friction

  • Operational efficiency: fewer manual steps, fewer mistakes, less time wasted

Premium pricing approach

Pricing depends on how much you want built and how fast you need it.

Typical premium ranges:

  • Accounting software setup: CHF 5,000–25,000+ (depending on complexity, integrations, historical data migration)

  • Budgeting & cash-flow planning: CHF 6,000–30,000+ (depending on scenario depth and reporting cadence)

  • Finance-related corporate recordkeeping: CHF 3,500–15,000+ per year (depending on governance complexity and volume of decisions)

  • Integrated “finance operating system” build (all three): CHF 20,000–90,000+ as a structured project

The objective is predictable delivery with a setup that remains usable for years.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

1) Do we need additional business support if we already have bookkeeping?
Bookkeeping records the past. Additional support makes your finance function operational: controls, reporting, planning, and decision infrastructure.

2) Can you set this up for foreign-owned subsidiaries?
Yes. We can align account mapping, reporting cadence, and documentation standards for group oversight.

3) Can you build a cash-flow model that actually matches our payment reality?
Yes. We base it on your invoice/payment terms, payroll calendar, and supplier timing—not on generic assumptions.

4) What is “finance-related corporate recordkeeping”?
It is the part of corporate records that affects money: approvals, loans, distributions, equity movements, signature rules, and the evidence trail behind decisions.

5) Will this help with banks and audits?
Yes. Banks and auditors care about reconciled numbers, controlled approvals, and consistent documentation.

6) How long does setup take?
It depends on scope (software only vs full operating system) and how quickly documents and decisions are provided, but we structure delivery in phases so you get early operational wins.

7) Can you integrate this with management reporting?
Yes. Reporting is a core output: monthly/quarterly packs, KPIs, cash view, and exception logs.

8) What do you need from us to start?
Company profile (GmbH/AG, canton), transaction volumes, payment channels, existing tools, reporting needs, and who approves financial decisions.
