Accounting outsourcing pricing in Cademario explained simply

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 Cademario.

The Swiss legal frame for accounting outsourcing

AHV audits and VAT audits follow the same logic: start from the documents, trace to the entries, check consistency. A business in Cademario with a clean audit trail sails through these exercises.

One simple principle drives accounting outsourcing: every franc in or out must be explainable by a document, an entry and an account. All of Swiss accounting law fits inside that traceability requirement.

A Swiss SME's accounting calendar

An accounting calendar only lives if it is shared: owner, in-house bookkeeper and fiduciary must see the same deadlines and the same status — the rule holds for every SME in Cademario.

For a business in Cademario, an isolated delay can be caught up; a structural delay is paid in interest, fines and stress. The difference between the two: a system, not good intentions.

Year-end closing: how the mechanics work

The income statement reads as a cascade: gross margin, operating result, financial result, extraordinary result. Each level answers a different question — mixing levels blurs the steering.

The notes complete the figures: valuation principles, liabilities towards pension institutions, contingent liabilities, or the number of full-time positions. Careful notes reduce questions from the auditor and the banks.

Digitalising accounting outsourcing: what actually works

Security is part of digitalisation: named access, tested backups, encryption of sensitive data. A digital accounting file is protected like a safe — because it is one.

For accounting outsourcing, migrating history must not block the start: begin on day one of the current financial year and import the history later if needed.

Cademario: what changes, what does not

Working with a fiduciary from Cademario no longer depends on geography: the documents of a business in Cademario are shared online, while the canton Ticino keeps its own deadlines for the tax return.

Cademario requires no special bookkeeping: the Code of Obligations applies at postal code 6936 as everywhere else, and a well-kept digital file transfers smoothly to any auditor in the canton.

Frequently asked questions

Do you need a fiduciary for accounting outsourcing, 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 Cademario.

What are the current Swiss VAT rates?

Since 1 January 2024: 8.1% (standard), 2.6% (reduced — for example food and medicines) and 3.8% (accommodation). Returns must be filed and paid within 60 days after the period ends (quarterly under the effective method, semi-annually under the net tax rate method). These federal rates apply unchanged in Cademario.

Does MyFiducia.ai work for a business based in Cademario?

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 Cademario manages its documents, VAT and exports exactly as anywhere in Switzerland.

Can accounting outsourcing 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 outsourcing.
