SME chart of accounts for Sàrl companies in Vaux-sur-Morges: the practical guide
SME chart of accounts for Sàrl companies in Vaux-sur-Morges rests on three pillars: federal law that applies across Switzerland, cantonal deadlines worth knowing, and tools that eliminate re-keying. This guide puts it all in order, fact by fact.
The Swiss legal frame for SME chart of accounts
Whether a business sits in Vaux-sur-Morges or elsewhere in Switzerland, the same federal law applies — one of the strengths of the Swiss system for SME chart of accounts. Cantonal differences concentrate on taxation (rates, filing deadlines); bookkeeping itself follows art. 957 ff. CO everywhere.
The good news: the Swiss frame is stable and predictable. Structure SME chart of accounts once — chart of accounts, document flow, calendar — and the same organisation pays off for years.
A well-structured SME chart of accounts
The same chart serves three readings: accounting (accuracy), tax (accepted adjustments) and management (margins by activity). Modern software produces all three views without double entry.
For SME chart of accounts, a few well-chosen analytical accounts (by activity, by site) beat a forest of sub-accounts nobody ever reads.
Digitalising SME chart of accounts: what actually works
A serious accounting document archive links every record to its entry, timestamps versions and logs access — exactly what Swiss bookkeeping regulation expects from probative electronic retention. Chronological filing by financial year becomes an automatic by-product.
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.
A Swiss SME's accounting calendar

The useful reflex: date every obligation the moment it arises. An employee hired means AHV/LPP deadlines created; VAT registration means a filing cycle set; a closing date fixed means backward planning of the close. Well organised, the SME chart of accounts calendar fills itself.
