About Gaapex

Gaapex is a digitally oriented accounting practice working from Lausanne, Zurich and Bern. It serves start-ups, small and mid-sized businesses and foreign-owned groups that need Swiss statutory accounts, reporting and tax compliance. A dedicated section addresses international companies, covering conversion to IFRS or Swiss GAAP FER, consolidated statements, reconciliation to US GAAP and the Swiss VAT representation of non-Swiss businesses. Entrepreneurs and overseas companies wanting to establish a Swiss entity are guided through the incorporation steps, including coordination with the notary and the bank. The partners and directors are Swiss certified accountants with audit backgrounds at large firms, and the work is run on cloud accounting platforms shared with clients. The website is available in English, French and German. Further topics include CFO outsourcing, due diligence and Odoo dashboards for management reporting.
