Deadlines closing in. A key person unavailable. The audit just around the corner. Wherever accounting suddenly gets tight, we are ready within days — professional, audit-ready, hands-on instead of just advisory.
They grow quietly: missing resources, sudden staff absences, rising complexity, legacy clean-up that was never done. The situations below are the ones we know from practice — and exactly what we are built for.
Illness, resignation, parental leave. Sudden gaps in the accounting team need immediate hands-on support before a missing seat turns into a missed close. We can also secure know-how transfer during handovers and onboard the new hire in a structured way.
The audit is at the door but the close is not ready. Complex accounting matters or backlog put the deadline — and your credibility with auditors — at risk.
An ERP rollout (e.g. Microsoft Dynamics or SAP S/4HANA), rapid growth or organisational change often stretches the existing accounting team. We bring the capacity and the method know-how that is hard to build in-house at short notice.
The group parent requires reporting packages under IFRS or Swiss GAAP FER, but in-house capacity or expertise is missing. Deadlines are closing in — we deliver the missing piece of execution, directly inside your team.
Investors, banks or buyers expect high-quality figures and documentation on short notice. These phases need both diligence and speed — both are our standard.
Historical inconsistencies in postings or processes, missing audit-readiness, deferred items. We clean up legacy issues, stabilise reporting and lay the groundwork for clean future periods.
Four areas where we make an impact within days. All of them are hands-on — we step in and execute, not just write recommendations.
Direct hands-on work on monthly, quarterly and annual closings — with the goal of hitting deadlines, protecting quality and taking weight off the internal team.
Preparing the closing up to audit-readiness. We know what external auditors expect and work so that audit questions are answered before they are asked.
Reporting packages to the parent company, consolidating subsidiaries, eliminations and reconciliations — at the level international groups expect.
When a position in accounting is suddenly vacant, we take over operational responsibility temporarily — until the permanent successor is in place.
Four qualities that let our team deliver reliably in pressure and bottleneck situations.
Solid expertise in accounting, IFRS, Swiss GAAP FER and group reporting — tested in day-to-day practice, not just in textbooks.
Experience from Big 4 environments and mid-size to international groups. We understand what external auditors and parent companies expect.
Not just advice — we roll up our sleeves. Our team works inside the accounting process and gets it done — responsibility instead of recommendations.
Fast availability for urgent bottlenecks and time-critical situations — within days, sometimes within hours.
We skip long mobilisation phases. After a short situation review we are inside the team, working towards deadlines, stakeholders and systems with focus. Deadlines are held without compromise. Solutions are driven with high intensity — including round the clock, 24/7, where needed.
A short, focused stocktake. What is urgent, what is sensitive, what are the deadlines. Clearly defined mandate and target state.
We work directly inside the client team — on-site or remote. Hands on the day-to-day, not just workshops.
Consolidate legacy items, clarify open matters, restore audit-readiness. A clean slate as the basis for clean future periods.
Stabilise reporting, document processes, hand over to the internal team or the permanent successor.
Where we are most at home. All of our consultants bring years of hands-on experience in one or several of these disciplines. They see themselves as part of your team and take responsibility as if it were their own company.
Answers to the questions we get asked most often.
No. We don't take over ongoing bookkeeping as a long-term service. Our focus is time-limited, hands-on engagements in critical situations, bottlenecks or specific projects. For ongoing bookkeeping, please reach out to Aeberli Treuhand AG.
Depending on the situation, within a few days; for urgent matters within hours. After a short situation review we start hands-on right away — no weeks of mobilisation.
It depends on the situation. Engagements range from a few weeks — e.g. for closing support — to several months for interim mandates or larger clean-ups. We adapt the duration flexibly to your needs.
Both are possible, often a combination. Depending on your situation and preferences we work on-site at your company, remote or hybrid — whatever makes most operational sense.
We support SMEs, mid-size companies and (up to globally active) group entities. What matters is not the size but the complexity and urgency of the situation.
We don't just advise — we execute hands-on. Our team works directly inside your accounting processes, takes responsibility for results and delivers finished closings instead of recommendation papers.
Contact us when deadlines, quality or resources get critical. Reach us by phone, email, or at the Aeberli head office in Zurich.
