Frequently asked questions
Here we have gathered the questions customers ask us most often: what an accounting firm costs, how switching accounting firms works and what is included in the packages.
The questions are grouped by topic. The answers are short, and where there is a page that goes into more depth, we link to it. If you can't find what you are looking for, you can write to us using the form further down.
Becoming a customer and switching accounting firms
How do I become a customer?
Request a quote or book a free meeting using the form. We get back to you within 24 hours on weekdays, go through your needs and give you a fixed price before you decide. Read more
How do I switch accounting firms?
You terminate the agreement with your old firm, then we retrieve the history, set up Fortnox and take over from the start of a month. We can handle the contact with the old firm, and the transition costs nothing extra. Read more
Can I switch firms in the middle of the financial year?
Yes. We take over from the start of a month and the old firm closes its periods. We make sure that VAT periods and employer declarations don't fall through the cracks. Read more
Which types of company do you help?
Sole traders (enskild firma), trading partnerships (handelsbolag), limited partnerships and limited companies (aktiebolag, AB).
Do you only work with businesses in Gothenburg?
Our office is on Nya Tingstadsgatan in Gothenburg and many of our customers are here, but we work digitally with businesses all over Sweden.
Prices and packages
What does an accounting firm cost at Ekonomico?
We have four packages with a fixed monthly price excluding VAT: Mini SEK 750, Basic from SEK 1 500, Complete from SEK 2 300 and Premium from SEK 3 900. Mini suits businesses with very low activity and no employees. Read more
What determines the final price?
The number of vouchers per month and the number of employees. We work out a fixed price at the first meeting, and it doesn't change until your company changes. Read more
Is there a lock-in period?
No. You can leave whenever you like with three months' notice.
Is advice included in the packages?
Yes, in Basic, Complete and Premium. Basic includes up to two hours a month, and in Complete and Premium advice is unlimited. Mini is a pure bookkeeping package without advice. Read more
Can I buy just the year-end closing and tax return?
Yes. A standalone year-end closing with income tax return costs from SEK 2 500 for a sole trader, SEK 4 500 for a trading partnership and SEK 7 500 for a limited company, excluding VAT. Read more
Bookkeeping and Fortnox
Which bookkeeping software do you use?
We work in Fortnox. Receipts and supplier invoices are photographed or emailed in and land in the bookkeeping, and you approve them on your phone. Read more
Can you take over my Fortnox account?
Yes. Either we take over your existing licence or we set up a new account and transfer the history.
Is there an extra cost for Fortnox?
The software licence is invoiced separately, either by the supplier or through us, depending on what you prefer. We tell you what it costs before you decide.
How long must the bookkeeping be kept?
Accounting records must be kept until the end of the seventh year after the end of the calendar year in which the financial year ended. This applies even if you switch firms.
Year-end closing, tax returns and tax
When must the annual report be submitted?
It must reach the Swedish Companies Registration Office (Bolagsverket) no later than seven months after the end of the financial year, which means 31 July for limited companies whose financial year follows the calendar year. A private limited company is charged a late filing fee of SEK 7 500 after just one day's delay. Read more
Does my limited company need an auditor?
Only if, in each of the last two financial years, the company has exceeded more than one of the thresholds: more than 3 employees on average, more than SEK 1.5 million in balance sheet total and more than SEK 3 million in net turnover. We don't have our own auditor but work with one when needed. Read more
Do you help with the K10 form and my personal tax return?
Yes. The K10 form is submitted by anyone who holds qualifying shares in a close company (fåmansföretag), and it is included in the Complete and Premium packages. We quote separately for a personal tax return beyond that. Read more
Can you work out salary versus dividend?
Yes. Tax planning for salary and dividends is included in Premium, and in the other packages with advice you can raise the question with your consultant. You make the decision; we show you how the options work out. Read more
Payroll
How many employees are included in payroll?
Up to three employees in Basic, up to six in Complete and up to ten in Premium. If you have more employees, you get a quote. Read more
When must the employer declaration be submitted?
It is submitted the month after the salary is paid, and most employers must file by the 12th of each month. For July salaries the deadline is 17 August. The employer declaration is included in Basic, Complete and Premium. Read more
Business services and legal matters
Can you help me start a business?
Yes, we help you choose a company type and register the company. Company matters are quoted separately at a fixed price before we start. Read more
Do you help with changes to the company?
Yes, for example changes to the board, address or articles of association that must be reported to the Companies Registration Office. You get a quote with a fixed price. Read more
Do you draft contracts?
Yes, we draft and review contracts for businesses. If a dispute arises, we help you with that too. Read more
Do you help haulage firms and bus companies with licences?
Yes, we help with transport licences and offer a transport manager consultant for goods and bus transport. Read more
Peace of mind
Are you insured if something goes wrong?
Yes. Ekonomico AB has professional liability insurance for advisory consultants with Länsförsäkringar. If an error is our fault, we correct it and cover the cost. Read more
Which procedures do you follow?
We work according to Rex, the Swedish standard for accounting engagements, with documented procedures and reconciliations. We have a good credit rating with UC and we hold the Nordic Growth Certificate (Nordiskt tillväxtcertifikat) 2025. Read more
How is my data protected?
All employees are bound by a duty of confidentiality, and we sign a data processing agreement with every customer. The bookkeeping is stored in Fortnox on servers within the EU. Read more
Do you have an auditor?
We don't have our own auditor but work with one when your company needs an audit. We do accounting and year-end closing, not audits.
