Accounting document management template in Moiry without the stress: how it works

Between VAT, social contributions and the year-end close, a Swiss SME juggles dozens of deadlines a year. This page focuses on accounting document management in Moiry: what the law requires, what can be automated, and when to delegate.

Digitalising accounting document management: 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 an owner in Moiry, 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

Reminders work best graduated: a neutral first reminder, a firm second, then formal notice — each generated from exact balances, never from memory.

For the debtors of a business in Moiry, nothing changes on the payer's side: scan the code, confirm, pay. On the accounting document management side, everything changes: the collection entry proposes itself, the receivables ledger updates continuously and reminders go out on exact balances.

A well-structured SME chart of accounts

The test of a good chart of accounts is a single question: can the owner find the margins in three clicks? If not, the chart serves the tax office but not the business — even in Moiry.

For accounting document management, a few well-chosen analytical accounts (by activity, by site) beat a forest of sub-accounts nobody ever reads.

Outsource accounting document management or keep it in-house?

Splitting roles clearly avoids duplication: the company captures documents and approves payments; the fiduciary checks postings, closes the year and defends the file before the authorities. Each side does what it does best — and nobody keys the same invoice twice.

Three signals say it is time to delegate more: missed deadlines (VAT, AHV), entries running months behind, or an owner spending evenings on receipts instead of the business. Conversely, an SME equipped with modern software can safely take day-to-day entry back in-house.

Moiry: what changes, what does not

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

Federal deadlines do not move in Moiry: VAT within 60 days, salary declaration in January, 10-year record retention — postal code 1148 changes nothing about those rules, only the sender's address.

Frequently asked questions

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 Moiry.

Effective VAT method or net tax rate: how to choose?

The effective method deducts actual input VAT and files quarterly; the net tax rate method applies a flat industry rate to turnover, semi-annually, with no separate input VAT deduction. The flat rate suits low-cost structures; as investments grow, the effective method usually wins again. The choice rests on the company's own figures, in Moiry as anywhere.

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 Moiry.
