Practical answers for owners and finance teams

Frequently asked questions about year-end accounts and annual reports

What can year-end accounting support include?

We can review the bookkeeping, reconcile relevant balances and prepare the agreed year-end accounts and schedules. The scope depends on the business form, applicable accounting rules and the quality of the records already available. We explain outstanding questions and what needs to happen next.

Can you help if another accountant handles the bookkeeping?

Yes. You can engage us for the year-end work even if the bookkeeping is handled internally or by another accounting firm. We first review how the records are organised and agree the information, access and responsibilities needed for the assignment.

What is the difference between annual accounts and an annual report?

Both close the financial year, but the required form and content depend on the business form and applicable rules. A Swedish limited company must prepare an annual report and file it with Bolagsverket. We help clarify which documents are relevant to your business.

Which records do you need from us?

Typical records include the bookkeeping, trial balance, bank reconciliations, receivables and payables, fixed asset and inventory schedules, agreements and information about significant events. We agree what is needed for your business and follow up missing items before completing the work.

Do we need to use K2 or K3?

The appropriate framework depends on the company, its size, activities and the financial year concerned. K2 is available to many smaller companies, while K3 is the main framework for annual reports. We assess the relevant requirements rather than assuming that every small company can use K2.

Can you coordinate with a finance team outside Sweden?

Yes. We can coordinate the Swedish year-end records with your overseas finance team or existing advisers and explain the work in English. We distinguish the Swedish statutory documents from any additional reporting requested by a foreign parent company and agree any extra work separately.

Does preparing the annual report include an audit?

Preparation of accounts and an audit are separate assignments. If the company has an auditor, we can coordinate the relevant records and questions with that auditor. We also agree the steps that need to be completed by the company before approval and filing.

Is the annual report the same as the income tax return?

No. The annual report and the income tax return are separate documents with different purposes and filing processes. The completed accounts are an important basis for the tax calculation. We can coordinate the work where agreed, including any relevant adjustments and supporting schedules.

Can the annual report be filed digitally?

Digital filing is available for eligible limited companies using supported software. Approval, signing and filing arrangements must also be in place. We help clarify the practical process for your company and who will carry out each step.

When should we start, and how do we engage you?

Contact us in good time before the year-end and filing deadlines. Tell us about the company, financial year, available records and any auditor or overseas reporting requirements. We can then discuss the scope, timetable and fee basis. Registration is not an order and does not extend a filing deadline.
