Accounting in Switzerland has its own specifics. Since Switzerland is not a Member State of the European Union, accounting and book keeping in this country are not subject to EU International Accounting Standards and International Financial Reporting Standards.

Goldblum and Partners helps to organize accounting in a reliable, cost-effective and smooth way. We are committed to providing top-notch accounting services. Our competent and highly professional team assists clients in various issues related to everyday business needs. You will see how easy and simple accounting can be.
