What changes

Your own staff before —
now real time.

Before

  • Closings once a quarter — decisions almost flying blind
  • An in-house accountant in Zurich — CHF 110,000+ per year
  • Routine work steals time from your core business
  • Errors in the figures surface too late

With AAR Consulting

  • Up-to-date figures every day
  • A team of experts instead of your own staff
  • You focus on the business, we focus on the numbers
  • Errors are immediately visible — through reconciliation with the source

What we do for you

The entire finance function — outsourced

Real-time accounting

Balance sheet, income statement, VAT status, receivables and payables — current every day instead of only at quarter's end.

Outsourced finance chief

Digital CFO: management reporting, budgets, group consolidation, quarterly reviews. Decisions instead of spreadsheets.

Multi-currency accounting EUR/CHF

Parallel books in EUR and CHF, accurate to the cent — for exporters in Eastern Switzerland (Lake Constance, Austria, Liechtenstein).

Accounting by location and division

Every division, site or department as its own profit center. You see where you earn and where you lose.

Precision without errors

Every figure is reconciled with the bank, the VAT register and payroll — accurate to the cent. We find what Excel overlooks.

Secure AAR portal

Submit your documents however suits you — email, photo, PDF — and view your financial picture online at any time.

Why AAR Consulting

The firepower of a large enterprise — without its headcount

You get an enterprise-grade finance function — a team of experts and real-time technology — instead of building and maintaining your own department. Responsible is AAR Consulting, awarded Bilanz Top Tax Expert & Fiduciary 2021.

We work in Zurich and Eastern Switzerland and know your market — from the financial center to industrial export. You see your business in real time, and your data stays in Switzerland.

Costs

What does your own accounting cost you?

Zurich pays the highest accountant salaries in Switzerland. With social contributions and a workplace, a specialist costs over CHF 110,000 per year, a team several hundred thousand. With AAR you get more — and pay significantly less.

≈ 110k
CHF/year — one in-house accountant (Zurich, fully loaded)
150–160k
CHF/year — head of accounting
220–460k
CHF/year — your own team of 2–4 people

Transparent packages — matched to the size of your company

Choose your tier — and pay for the result, not for headcount.
