Financial dashboard for architecture firms in Thundorf: what every SME should know
Delegate, digitalise or do it all yourself? Around financial dashboard in Thundorf, 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.
The Swiss legal frame for financial dashboard
Swiss accounting law has been unified in the Code of Obligations since 2013: the same bookkeeping rules (art. 957a CO) and retention rules (art. 958f CO — 10 years for books, vouchers and reports) apply regardless of legal form. Financial dashboard sits squarely within this frame, including for companies based in Thundorf.
Art. 957a CO requires complete, truthful and systematic recording of transactions, each entry backed by a supporting document. For financial dashboard, that means in practice: no movement without a receipt, and an audit trail that can be reconstructed at any time — including during a VAT or AHV inspection.
A Swiss SME's accounting calendar
Three families of deadlines shape the year: federal (VAT within 60 days, salary declaration in January), cantonal (tax return, extensions depending on the canton, including in Thundorf) and internal (closing, general meeting within six months). Mixing them up is the leading cause of delays.
For financial dashboard, two dates lock themselves in every year: the January salary declaration and the general meeting within six months — everything else is planned around them.
Outsource financial dashboard or keep it in-house?
The scope goes down in writing: who enters data, who approves payments, who answers the tax office, who keeps the originals. Every “we'll see” at the start becomes a December misunderstanding — in Thundorf as elsewhere.
For financial dashboard, the internal-external duo works when both sides see the same file: same entries, same documents, same deadlines. Misunderstandings are born from parallel copies.
Year-end closing: how the mechanics work
The CO's accounting principles frame the closing: regularity, prudence and consistency of presentation (art. 958c CO), on the going-concern assumption (art. 958a CO). In practice, that means valuation methods kept constant from one year to the next — and documented whenever they change.
A clean closing pays beyond the legal duty: it conditions the tax return, bank discussions and the company's value in a succession. Hidden reserves (accelerated depreciation, provisions) remain admissible within cantonal tax limits — document them systematically.
Thundorf: what changes, what does not
Thundorf (postal code 8512, canton Thurgau) applies the same federal rules as the rest of the country: what changes in Thundorf are the cantonal counterparts — tax administration, compensation office, commercial register.
For a business in Thundorf, that means VAT returns identical to anywhere in Switzerland, but a tax return and family allowances governed by the canton Thurgau.
Frequently asked questions
Which documents should be prepared for the year-end closing?
Bank and cash statements at the closing date, the inventory of stock and work in progress, final AHV/LPP/accident settlements, contracts signed or amended during the year, invoices straddling two years and the detail of accruals. With an up-to-date document archive, most of it is already there. The list is identical in Thundorf: the CO dictates it, not the commune.
What are the legal obligations for financial dashboard in Switzerland?
The foundation is the Code of Obligations: proper bookkeeping (art. 957a CO), annual accounts (balance sheet, income statement, notes) and 10-year retention of books and records (art. 958f CO). VAT applies from CHF 100,000 of turnover, and social insurance settlements from the first employee. Nothing is different in Thundorf: federal law applies.
When is entry in the commercial register mandatory?
A Sàrl and an SA only come into existence with their registration. A sole proprietorship must register from CHF 100,000 of annual revenue; below that, registration stays voluntary but adds credibility and protects the business name. Registration goes through the canton's commercial register office — for Thundorf too.
