Your accounts build themselves as you work.
Journal, balance sheet, income statement, assets – recorded in the demo company.
Every invoice, every payment, every expense posts itself – to the right account. At year-end, one click closes the books, and the opening balance sheet for the new year is ready.
Closing
Accounts that add up
Double-entry, based on the Swiss SME chart of accounts – and built so that it can’t fall out of balance.
- Double-entry bookkeepingChart of accounts based on the Swiss SME chart of accounts — it belongs to you, not to the software. Journal, balance sheet, income statement.
- Year-end closingOne click, confirmed with the year: income statement accounts are closed to equity, and the opening balance sheet for the new year is created automatically. Beforehand, Buchify tells you what’s still open — unposted bank transactions, an unbalanced journal — and won’t let you close anything that doesn’t add up.
- Revenue account per line itemMerchandise to 3200, services to 3400 — set on the item, carried over to the invoice.
- Manual entriesFor everything that doesn’t come from a document. Debit, credit, text — and into the audit log.
- ReportsRevenue by month, largest customers, result. The chart of accounts as CSV for your fiduciary.
- Fixed assets and depreciationVehicle, machine, laptop: capitalised from the supplier invoice, depreciated at the Federal Tax Administration’s rates – declining balance or straight-line, pro rata in the first year. One click posts the year’s depreciation.
- Prior year alongsideBalance sheet and income statement show the previous year in a second column – if it is not closed yet, that is noted.
- Account sheetOne account over a period: the opening balance including the opening entry, every posting with its contra account and running balance – as PDF and CSV.
- Annual accounts with notesTitle page, balance sheet and income statement with prior year (structured according to art. 959a and 959b CO), the notes according to art. 959c CO and the signatures – as PDF in the company’s language. Your fiduciary checks whether the notes are complete.
- Cost centresRevenue and expenses per department, branch or vehicle – selectable on the invoice, the supplier invoice, expense claims and every line of a manual entry. The income statement per cost centre, also as CSV.
- Foreign currenciesDaily rates, invoices and supplier invoices in euros, bank accounts in foreign currency. Buchify posts exchange differences itself; on 31 December it revalues the foreign-currency accounts at the closing rate.
- Every document as a PDFInvoices, credit notes, reminders — exactly as they were sent, for ten years.
- Reversal instead of deletionAn entry is never deleted. Undoing works via a reversing entry – traceable, as the GeBüV requires.
- Export of all dataA zip file with every table as CSV and every document as PDF — at any time, without asking.
Overview
The dashboard
The first look in the morning. A page that tells you whether there’s anything to do today — and otherwise stays quiet.
- Open receivablesWhat’s outstanding, what’s overdue, and for how long.
- Ageing analysisOpen invoices by age — at a glance, not in a table.
- Latest entriesWhat last landed in the books, and where it came from.
- Reminders awaiting approvalWhat the reminder run has prepared waits here — nothing is sent until you say yes.
Questions about accounting
Do I need accounting knowledge?
Not for invoices, reminders and bank reconciliation. You write invoices and see who has paid; the revenue account comes from the item. For the year-end closing, basic knowledge helps — or you give your fiduciary their own access. They then see exactly what you see.
Can my fiduciary work with me?
Yes. You invite them under “Users” with the fiduciary role; they get their own login with a second factor and see all their client companies in one overview. Access is included in the subscription.
Can I bring over my existing data?
Yes. From bexio we bring over the whole financial year – contacts, journal, opening balances, customer and supplier invoices – first as a preview, then without duplicates. From other programs, customers come via CSV. How switching works →
