View profile of GaapexLausanne is a small list on Accountanty: three medium-sized accounting firms, all three working in French and English. It is a page for founders who want an office in the Vaud region rather than in Geneva, and who accept a short list in exchange for a local contact. Geneva has 91 firms for comparison, so many founders read both pages.
All three firms offer company formation, accounting, tax compliance, VAT and payroll. Two also audit, run corporate secretarial support and offer a virtual office. None mentions help with a bank account or with residency, so a founder who needs those should ask directly or look at the Geneva page. Two of the three say they focus on foreign clients.

View profile of ATCA SàrlWhat the firms name
The client groups are varied. Two firms name start-ups, and others name mid-size Swiss and international companies, international investors, executives and expatriates, and Polish companies expanding into Switzerland. The industries named are start-ups, small and medium companies, real estate, hospitality, industry, and sport and culture. The legal forms handled are the Sàrl, the GmbH and the SA, named by two firms each, with the AG, the sole proprietorship, the general partnership and the limited partnership also appearing.
A founder with a hospitality or cultural project will find firms that name that sector here, which is not the case in every Swiss city. A founder with a fund or a holding would do better to compare the larger pages for Zurich or Zug.
One rule to ask about
A single founder can set up a Sàrl, according to the SECO SME Portal, which says it can be established and run by one shareholder as a minimum. That makes the Sàrl or GmbH a route for a one-person foreign-owned business, though the Swiss residence requirement for a company representative still applies. Ask each Lausanne firm whether it can supply that person and what it charges.
Languages are French and English at all three firms, German at two, and Russian and Polish at one each. Compare the three on their written scope and named contact, then use the free quote request to reach them together with firms elsewhere in Switzerland.
Frequently asked questions
Do Lausanne accountants work in English?
Yes. All three firms work in French and English, two add German, and one each adds Russian or Polish. Ask for English reports and for a French notice to be explained when it arrives.
Can a Lausanne firm form a company for a foreign founder?
All three offer company formation, and two say they focus on foreign clients. Ask which steps they carry out, such as the notarial documents, the capital bank account and the register entry.
Which company forms do Lausanne firms handle?
Two firms each handle the Sàrl, the GmbH and the SA. Others handle the AG, sole proprietorships and partnerships. Choose the form first, then ask for a quote.
Do Lausanne firms offer a registered address?
Two of the three offer a virtual office and corporate secretarial support. Ask whether the address can be used as the company's domicile and who receives mail.
Should I compare Lausanne with Geneva?
With three firms here and 91 in Geneva, a wider comparison helps. Geneva firms offer more bank account and residency help, and you can compare both through one free quote request.
