Professional payroll services in Switzerland - for companies of all sizes
Running payroll in Switzerland involves more than calculating monthly salaries. As an employer here, you are responsible for registering with the correct social insurance bodies, withholding and declaring employee taxes, administering mandatory contributions – AHV, IV, ALV, and accident insurance – and meeting a series of deadlines that authorities in Switzerland expect to be observed precisely.
For an international company, navigating these obligations without local expertise is one of the most common sources of compliance risk. At IncoSwiss, we provide professional payroll services in Switzerland for companies of all sizes, from newly incorporated startups to international organisations managing cross-border workforces. As a dedicated corporate services provider, we deliver the expertise and responsiveness you would expect from a payroll company in Switzerland.

We combine expert guidance with automated payroll tools to manage salaries, social contributions, withholding taxes, and year-end reporting efficiently and cost-effectively. Every client is assigned a dedicated payroll specialist who knows your company structure, your employee base, and the specific cantonal requirements that apply to your operations. Whether you need ongoing monthly payroll management or targeted support for a specific challenge – onboarding employees, setting up Swiss obligatory social securities and insurances accounts, filling the yearly declarations,, or preparing for a payroll audit – our payroll services in Switzerland are tailored to your needs and built to scale with your business.
