Accounting that reads every line.

The engine behind the books.

Swiss Ledger runs on ANALYTICA — a data processing engine built in-house, operating entirely in Switzerland.

Every bank export, card statement, scanned receipt and supplier invoice passes through ANALYTICA before the accountant touches it. Data arrives structured, complete and posting-ready.

Work stays in Switzerland. Pricing reflects the mandate, not the hours spent processing data. Books are clean from day one.

Five mandates. One finance operation.

Where our work adds value.

• +You are setting up a company and want to get the finance function right from the outset.
• +Your accounting has stopped keeping pace with the business: more accounts, more payments, more cards, more payroll, more exceptions.
• +You run a Swiss entity within an international group and require accounts that group finance can read without translation or rebuilding.
• +Your company incurs cross-border business expenses, but you are still missing out on recoverable foreign VAT.

Where the work belongs elsewhere.

• −The deciding factor is the lowest possible fee, not the quality of the accounts.
• −The mandate is treated as document processing, not accounting.
• −The mandate is primarily legal advice, tax structuring or strategic tax advice. Swiss Ledger provides accounting, payroll, Swiss VAT and tax return compliance; those advisory roles sit outside our remit.

Priced by substance.

Pricing is based on the operating facts of the mandate, such as the accounts, volume, payroll, VAT regime, and closing work. Each factor is measured and priced using Swiss Ledger’s internal model.

There is no hourly billing. There are no round-number retainers. The estimate reflects the work involved.

The figure is indicative, not binding. A formal quote will be provided once the scope has been confirmed.

Where the work is, so are we.

Swiss Ledger keeps the work in Switzerland, in the languages and administrative context that each file requires. Cantonal differences, federal procedures, cross-border records and client communication all remain within one operating environment, supported by Swiss-based infrastructure.

Clear files. Defined boundaries. Controlled systems.

Swiss Ledger only accepts files with verifiable beneficial ownership, clear business purpose and demonstrable activity. Work stays within a defined perimeter: books are kept properly, outputs are delivered clearly, and lines of responsibility stay clear.

Swiss Ledger operates within its own environment. Where clients require delivery to their own instance of Abacus, WinEUR, Odoo, QuickBooks, Xero or another major platform, this system layer is priced and scoped separately.

Legal advice, tax structuring, fiduciary functions and signatory powers remain outside the scope of the engagement.

From first file to monthly control.

1. 01You tell us where the company stands.
   This could be a new entity, a growing business, overdue books, payroll, VAT, year-end or tax return, or business travel VAT recovery. You describe the file. We confirm what needs to be reviewed.
2. 02Open the file.
   We will then confirm the scope and issue the engagement letter. You return it signed, along with identification and company records.
3. 03Establish the baseline.
   The first thirty days are about making the file reliable. New entities have their chart of accounts, opening position and reporting structure set up from the outset. Existing entities have their ledger reviewed, corrected or rebuilt where necessary.
4. 04Keep the rhythm.
   Once the baseline is clear, work continues month by month. Payroll, VAT, year-end statements and tax returns follow their respective deadlines. Records are kept up to date as the work progresses.

Four steps. Then the work has a rhythm.

VAT hidden in business travel.

Business travel often creates recoverable VAT abroad: for example for hotels, conferences, trade fairs, client meetings, transport, meals and rental cars. This VAT does not come back through the domestic VAT return, so it is easily left unclaimed.

Swiss Ledger reviews qualifying business travel expenses and files recovery claims where reciprocity rules allow. Eligibility depends on the country, expense type, invoice wording and supporting documents.

The deadline is strict. In many cases, claims must be filed by 30 June of the year following the expense. Miss this deadline and the money is gone — permanently.
