Accounting records archiving for physiotherapy practices in Cugy (VD): rules, deadlines, best practice

Whether you run a Sàrl, an SA or a sole proprietorship in Cugy (VD), accounting records archiving eventually lands on your desk. Here are the practical reference points — legal basis, deadlines and common pitfalls — to decide with a clear head.

Digitalising accounting records archiving: what actually works

Access for the fiduciary, the auditor and employees is set by roles: view, enter, approve, close. Well-set rights protect the data and speed up collaboration.

For an owner in Cugy (VD), a dashboard only has value if the data is fresh: automating data entry means, first of all, buying up-to-date information about your own business.

QR-bills and friction-free collections

Clear payment terms, a visible due date, exact details: half of late payments come from ambiguous invoices, not bad payers — the finding holds in Cugy (VD) too.

A business in Cugy (VD) can collect by QR-bill even without sophisticated software: what matters is that every incoming payment finds its invoice, manually or automatically.

The Swiss legal frame for accounting records archiving

In Switzerland, the duty to keep accounts stems from art. 957 ff. of the Code of Obligations. Legal entities (Sàrl, SA) and sole proprietorships with at least CHF 500,000 in revenue keep full accounts: balance sheet, income statement and notes. Below that threshold, a simplified record of income, expenses and assets is sufficient.

For accounting records archiving, the classic early mistake remains mixing private and business: a dedicated bank account and documented private withdrawals eliminate half the discussions with the tax office.

Outsource accounting records archiving or keep it in-house?

A fiduciary's cost depends first on the quality of the data received: digitised, filed, reconciled documents are processed fast; a box of loose receipts is billed by the hour. Improving the internal preparation of accounting records archiving lowers fees more surely than any negotiation.

In Cugy (VD), as everywhere, the right collaboration rhythm follows the activity: monthly for payroll and data entry, quarterly for VAT, yearly for the closing and tax advice.

Cugy (VD): what changes, what does not

Sole proprietorship, Sàrl or SA in Cugy (VD): the AHV contact remains the competent compensation office, and taxes follow the scales of the canton Vaud.

Cugy (VD) requires no special bookkeeping: the Code of Obligations applies at postal code 1053 as everywhere else, and a well-kept digital file transfers smoothly to any auditor in the canton.

Frequently asked questions

Does MyFiducia.ai work for a business based in Cugy (VD)?

Yes: the platform runs online, the rules applied are federal (VAT, CO, AHV), and the file can be shared with any fiduciary. A business in Cugy (VD) manages its documents, VAT and exports exactly as anywhere in Switzerland.

What is simplified bookkeeping and who can use it?

Sole proprietorships and partnerships under CHF 500,000 of revenue may limit themselves to recording income, expenses and assets (art. 957 para. 2 CO). Once over the threshold — or upon founding a Sàrl or an SA — full accounts with balance sheet, income statement and notes become mandatory. The CHF 500,000 threshold is assessed the same way in Cugy (VD).

Can accounting records archiving be automated with AI?

Largely, yes: automatic document reading, posting suggestions, bank reconciliation via QR references and VAT exports. Human approval remains essential — AI prepares, the professional checks. That is exactly how MyFiducia.ai approaches accounting records archiving.

How long must records related to accounting records archiving be kept?

Ten years from the end of the financial year concerned (art. 958f CO). Electronic retention is permitted if the integrity and readability of the records are guaranteed — a serious digital archive validly replaces paper binders. A business in Cugy (VD) can therefore archive fully digitally.
