What are the main costs of accounting?

Accounting costs can be divided into three main categories:

Personnel costs

Personnel costs are the largest in accounting. These include salaries, ancillary wages and further training costs for accountants and financial specialists.

In Switzerland, the average annual salary of an accountant is around CHF 75,000 to CHF 85,000, depending on experience and location. In addition, there are social security contributions, pension fund contributions and other ancillary wage costs.

Software and IT costs

Accounting requires the use of software and IT infrastructure. Depending on the size of the company and its requirements, the costs for accounting software, updates, licences, hardware and IT support can vary. In Switzerland, the price of accounting software can range from CHF 300 to CHF 1,500 per year.

External consulting costs

Companies often need external advice from tax advisors, auditors or trustees to optimise their accounting and meet legal requirements. The cost of external advice varies depending on the expertise, industry and scope of the desired services.

How can accounting efficiency be increased while costs are reduced?

Automation and digitalisation

Efficient accounting uses modern technologies to automate processes and reduce time. For example, digital management of receipts and automatic posting of incoming payments enable faster and more accurate processing. These technologies can save on personnel costs and avoid errors.

Use of cloud software

The use of cloud-based accounting solutions offers many advantages, such as location-independent access, automatic backups and easy collaboration between internal and external partners. In addition, they reduce the costs of hardware, IT infrastructure, and software updates.

Accounting outsourcing

Outsourcing accounting to specialised fiduciaries such as Nexova AG is an effective way to reduce costs while benefiting from the expertise and experience of the service providers.

Outsourcing accounting eliminates the cost of hiring internal accountants and provides the company greater flexibility. In addition, external trustees can often use more efficient processes and technologies to optimise accounting.

Cost Comparison: In-house accounting vs outsourcing – The best solution for your company

Whether to handle accounting internally (in-house) or through an external service provider (outsourcing) is a key question for businesses. In this section, we compare the advantages and disadvantages of both options and give you valuable insights to help you find the best solution for your company.

In-house accounting: maintain control

Many companies prefer to handle their accounting internally to retain control over their finances. With in-house accounting, you can monitor your financial processes more closely and react flexibly to changes in the company.

Advantages of internal accounting:

  • Direct control over financial processes and information.
  • Internal expertise and knowledge of the corporate culture.

Disadvantages of in-house accounting:

  • Higher personnel costs for internal accountants (salaries, ancillary wage costs, further training).
  • Investment in accounting software, IT infrastructure and training.
  • Challenges in recruiting and retaining qualified employees.
  • Challenges with holiday and sick leave replacements.
  • Possible inefficiencies due to outdated processes and technologies.

Outsourcing: Profit from expertise and efficiency

Outsourcing your accounting to an external trustee offers many advantages, such as cost savings and access to expertise and sophisticated technologies. Outsourcing your accounting allows you to focus on your core business while benefiting from the trustee’s expertise.

Advantages of outsourcing:

  • Cost savings through reduction of personnel and infrastructure costs.
  • Access to expertise and experience from specialised service providers.
  • Adaptable fiduciary services in line with company growth.
  • Expertise in regulatory compliance and error prevention.
  • Use of modern technologies and efficient processes.

Disadvantages of outsourcing along with their solutions:

  • Control: Good communication ensures effective monitoring.
  • Knowledge loss: Close cooperation preserves company-specific knowledge.
  • Dependence: Careful selection and clear contracts allow independence and flexibility.

An individual decision: What suits your company?

The best solution for your company depends on your specific requirements, resources and goals. To make the right decision, you should consider the following questions:

  • How important to you is direct control over your financial processes?
  • Do you have sufficient resources for recruiting, training and retaining accounting staff?
  • How large is the scope of your accounting and what specific requirements do you have?
  • What experience have you had so far with internal or external accounting solutions?

After carefully considering these questions, you can make an informed decision as to whether in-house accounting or outsourcing is best for your company.

Remember that there is no universal solution it comes down to finding the right balance between control, cost and efficiency for your specific situation. The accounting solution you choose should be that which best helps you achieve your business goals and supports your company’s growth.
