Everything that matters about accounting automation for farms in Lommis
Delegate, digitalise or do it all yourself? Around accounting automation in Lommis, every SME draws its own line. The reference points below — federal law, cantonal practice and lessons from the field — help you place the cursor well.
Digitalising accounting automation: 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.
Migrate in stages: supplier invoices first (high volume, immediate gain), then receivables with the QR-bill, finally payroll and the closing. At each stage, comparing one month before/after is enough to prove the gain — no theoretical promises needed.
The Swiss legal frame for accounting automation
AHV audits and VAT audits follow the same logic: start from the documents, trace to the entries, check consistency. A business in Lommis with a clean audit trail sails through these exercises.
For accounting automation, 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.
A well-structured SME chart of accounts
Account labels deserve as much care as numbers: “Third-party fees” says nothing, “Fiduciary fees” and “IT fees” say everything. Meaningful labels cut posting errors and make dashboards readable without a glossary.
Suspense accounts (to clarify) are useful provided they are emptied monthly: a swelling “miscellaneous” account is the classic symptom of a chart that no longer fits the activity.
QR-bills and friction-free collections
Since 30 September 2022, the QR-bill has fully replaced the old Swiss payment slips. The Swiss QR Code carries the IBAN (or QR-IBAN), the amount, the debtor and a structured reference: enough to match every incoming payment to its invoice automatically.
A business in Lommis can collect by QR-bill even without sophisticated software: what matters is that every incoming payment finds its invoice, manually or automatically.
Lommis: what changes, what does not
Working with a fiduciary from Lommis no longer depends on geography: the documents of a business in Lommis are shared online, while the canton Thurgau keeps its own deadlines for the tax return.
For a business in Lommis, that means VAT returns identical to anywhere in Switzerland, but a tax return and family allowances governed by the canton Thurgau.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a limited and an ordinary audit?
The ordinary audit applies to companies exceeding, for two consecutive years, two of three thresholds: CHF 20 million balance sheet total, CHF 40 million revenue, 250 full-time positions. Others fall under the limited audit, and those with no more than ten full-time positions on annual average can opt out with all shareholders' consent. These federal thresholds do not depend on the registered seat — in Lommis as anywhere.
Do you need a fiduciary for accounting automation, or can you do it yourself?
Both are defensible. Below CHF 500,000 of revenue, a sole proprietorship may keep simplified accounts itself. As soon as payroll, VAT and a closing with tax stakes are involved, professional support prevents mistakes that cost more than the fees. With a shared platform, the fiduciary does not even need to be in Lommis.
Does MyFiducia.ai work for a business based in Lommis?
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 Lommis manages its documents, VAT and exports exactly as anywhere in Switzerland.
Can accounting automation 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 automation.
