Capion & Partners · Sweden
Capion & Partners is a Swedish accounting firm working with companies establishing or operating in Sweden — subsidiaries, branches and foreign employers. We run the books, the filings and the dialogue with Swedish authorities, so your head office never has to.
Establishing in Sweden
Most companies ask “do we need a Swedish entity?”. The better question is whether you will have a permanent establishment (fast driftställe) for tax purposes — that is what determines your obligations here. Broadly, there are three routes:
A Swedish limited company: its own legal entity with share capital from SEK 25,000, a board, Swedish bookkeeping and an annual report filed with the Companies Registration Office (Bolagsverket). The default choice when you are building a real operation here.
A registered Swedish branch of your foreign company. Not a separate legal entity, but it is registered with Bolagsverket, needs a managing director and keeps its own Swedish books. Companies outside the EEA also appoint a person in Sweden authorised to receive official documents.
Often overlooked: you can sell cross-border, or register as a foreign employer and hire in Sweden, without forming anything — as long as no permanent establishment arises. VAT registration may still be required.
The legal side of formation sits with your counsel — we work alongside them during setup, then run everything financial from day one.
What we handle
Swedish books kept in Fortnox — the local standard — with monthly reporting your head office can actually use.
Registration and monthly or quarterly VAT returns (momsdeklaration), including cross-border flows and intra-EU trade.
Employer registration, payslips, social security contributions (arbetsgivaravgifter) and the monthly per-employee PAYE reporting to the tax agency.
The statutory annual report, the corporate income tax return, and the deadlines that come with them. Over 1,000 year-end closes behind us.
A named partner that Swedish banks, the tax agency (Skatteverket) and auditors can call directly — up to and including interim CFO work.
How we work
Day to day — reporting, meetings and email — not “on request”. Your team never needs a word of Swedish.
Intercompany flows, royalty streams, group reporting calendars and auditors in other time zones are familiar ground.
We regularly work on-site with clients abroad — typically a kickoff at your head office to map systems and people, then a recurring visit around year-end.
We are Fortnox-certified and your team gets direct access to the accounts — no black box between you and your Swedish operation.
Tell us briefly where you are — considering Sweden, mid-setup, or already running and unhappy with the current arrangement. A partner reads it personally and replies within a business day. The first conversation is free and commits you to nothing.
