Everything that matters about financial dashboard paperless in Goms
Financial dashboard paperless in Goms 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 financial dashboard
In Switzerland, the duty to keep accounts stems from art. 957 ff. of the Code of Obligations. Legal entities (Sàrl, SA) and sole proprietorships with at least CHF 500,000 in revenue keep full accounts: balance sheet, income statement and notes. Below that threshold, a simplified record of income, expenses and assets is sufficient.
The annual accounts (art. 958 CO) consist of the balance sheet, the income statement and the notes; they must be drawn up within six months of the year-end so the general meeting can approve them. A delay here cascades into the tax return and the final social insurance settlements.
Digitalising financial dashboard: what actually works
The classic digitalisation traps are avoidable: scanning without quality control (unreadable records), stacking disconnected tools (double entry in disguise), or neglecting access rights. One single flow from document to entry, with clear roles, beats five shiny apps.
The winning pair for financial dashboard: a single inbox (e-mail, scan, photo) and one simple rule — no document sits more than a few days without a proposed entry.
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 Goms as anywhere.
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?
A good test before choosing: ask the fiduciary HOW it wants to receive the documents. A precise answer (formats, frequency, platform) says more than any brochure — including in Goms.
For financial dashboard, a quarterly 30-minute check-in with the fiduciary beats an annual marathon: questions get handled while they are small.
Goms: what changes, what does not
Sole proprietorship, Sàrl or SA in Goms: the AHV contact remains the competent compensation office, and taxes follow the scales of the canton Valais.
Federal deadlines do not move in Goms: VAT within 60 days, salary declaration in January, 10-year record retention — postal code 3985 changes nothing about those rules, only the sender's address.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a limited and an ordinary audit?
The ordinary audit applies to companies exceeding, for two consecutive years, two of three thresholds: CHF 20 million balance sheet total, CHF 40 million revenue, 250 full-time positions. Others fall under the limited audit, and those with no more than ten full-time positions on annual average can opt out with all shareholders' consent. These federal thresholds do not depend on the registered seat — in Goms as anywhere.
When must a business register for VAT?
As soon as its worldwide annual turnover reaches CHF 100,000 (CHF 250,000 for non-profit sports or cultural associations). Below that, voluntary registration remains possible and often makes sense to reclaim input VAT on investments. The threshold is federal: it applies in Goms as everywhere in Switzerland.
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 Goms can therefore archive fully digitally.
