Advisor handing a document and pen to a client

Financial dashboard for architecture firms in Torny explained simply

Delegate, digitalise or do it all yourself? Around financial dashboard in Torny, 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

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

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.

Digitalising financial dashboard: what actually works

Digitising does not mean hoarding PDFs: without the document-entry link, a digital file is as opaque as a box of archives — true in Torny as everywhere.

An SME in Torny that digitalises gains owner time first: less filing, fewer “where is that receipt?” questions, more attention to the trade — that is the real return of financial dashboard.

A Swiss SME's accounting calendar

Tax instalments are steered: too low, they set up a salty final bill; too high, they tie up cash. Adjusting them on current figures is a profitable reflex, in Torny as anywhere.

Handing deadline monitoring to a tool is no luxury: automatic reminders, a status per obligation, and an “all green” view that clears the mind. What matters is not who ticks the box — but that the box exists and everyone can see it.

Outsource financial dashboard or keep it in-house?

Responsibility stays with the client: the fiduciary executes with care, but the signed accounts bind the company. Understanding what you sign is not optional.

For financial dashboard, a quarterly 30-minute check-in with the fiduciary beats an annual marathon: questions get handled while they are small.

Torny: what changes, what does not

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

Torny requires no special bookkeeping: the Code of Obligations applies at postal code 1748 as everywhere else, and a well-kept digital file transfers smoothly to any auditor in the canton.

Frequently asked questions

Which social contributions does a Swiss employer pay?

AHV/IV/APG: 5.3% employer share (the same is withheld from the employee); unemployment insurance: 1.1% each up to CHF 148,200 a year; occupational pension (LPP) by age and plan (employer at least 50%); occupational accident insurance paid by the employer; family allowances by canton. For an employer in Torny, family allowances follow the canton's rates.

How long must records related to financial dashboard 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 Torny can therefore archive fully digitally.

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 Torny: federal law applies.

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 Torny.
