Everything that matters about accounting automation fees in Dully
Swiss accounting law (art. 957 ff. of the Code of Obligations) sets a precise frame, yet day-to-day practice often stays fuzzy. This guide walks through what actually matters for a business based in Dully.
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.
Electronic archiving is fully recognised: Swiss bookkeeping regulation admits electronic retention of records provided integrity and readability are guaranteed for the 10 years of art. 958f CO. A paper binder is no longer an obligation — provided the archiving system is serious.
QR-bills and friction-free collections
Reminders work best graduated: a neutral first reminder, a firm second, then formal notice — each generated from exact balances, never from memory.
The winning trio remains: QR-bills for collections, e-banking connected to the accounts for statement imports (camt.053), and automatic matching rules. Exceptions — partial payments, duplicates, missing references — are then handled in minutes, not hours.
The Swiss legal frame for accounting automation
A small business does not mean small obligations: from the first salary or the first VAT return, mistakes get expensive — in Dully as anywhere.
The annual accounts (art. 958 CO) consist of the balance sheet, the income statement and the notes; they must be drawn up within six months of the year-end so the general meeting can approve them. A delay here cascades into the tax return and the final social insurance settlements.
Outsource accounting automation or keep it in-house?
Outsourcing accounting automation to a fiduciary frees up time and secures compliance; keeping it in-house preserves a continuous view and costs less in fees. The best answer is often hybrid: the company captures and digitises as it goes, the fiduciary supervises, closes the books and represents the company before the authorities.
A business in Dully can combine the models: internal day-to-day entry, monthly external supervision, closing and taxes with the specialist — accounting automation splits very well.
Dully: what changes, what does not
Sole proprietorship, Sàrl or SA in Dully: the AHV contact remains the competent compensation office, and taxes follow the scales of the canton Vaud.
Dully requires no special bookkeeping: the Code of Obligations applies at postal code 1195 as everywhere else, and a well-kept digital file transfers smoothly to any auditor in the canton.
Frequently asked questions
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 Dully.
How much does accounting automation cost in Dully?
It depends on document volume, the number of salaries and VAT complexity — no serious figure can be quoted without examining the file. Two levers cut the bill everywhere: digitised, well-filed receipts and software that prepares entries instead of having them re-keyed.
Does MyFiducia.ai work for a business based in Dully?
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 Dully manages its documents, VAT and exports exactly as anywhere in Switzerland.
How long must records related to accounting automation 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 Dully can therefore archive fully digitally.
