Everything that matters about accounting software paperless in Furna
Delegate, digitalise or do it all yourself? Around accounting software in Furna, 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.
Digitalising accounting software: what actually works
Automation is judged on the exceptions: what happens when the document is unreadable, the supplier unknown, the amount divergent? A good tool isolates those cases and lets a human decide fast — precious for teams in Furna.
The winning pair for accounting software: a single inbox (e-mail, scan, photo) and one simple rule — no document sits more than a few days without a proposed entry.
QR-bills and friction-free collections
Clear payment terms, a visible due date, exact details: half of late payments come from ambiguous invoices, not bad payers — the finding holds in Furna too.
Used properly, the QR reference removes most manual debtor ticking. For accounting software, that means reminders triggered on reliable data and continuously readable cash flow — no more waiting for month-end to know who has paid.
The Swiss legal frame for accounting software
AHV audits and VAT audits follow the same logic: start from the documents, trace to the entries, check consistency. A business in Furna with a clean audit trail sails through these exercises.
Also worth knowing: accounts may be drawn up in the currency most relevant to the business; if that is not the franc, values must additionally be stated in CHF (art. 958d para. 3 CO). Internationally active companies gain books that match their economic reality.
Outsource accounting software 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 Furna as elsewhere.
For accounting software, the internal-external duo works when both sides see the same file: same entries, same documents, same deadlines. Misunderstandings are born from parallel copies.
Furna: what changes, what does not
Furna (postal code 7232, canton Grisons) applies the same federal rules as the rest of the country: what changes in Furna are the cantonal counterparts — tax administration, compensation office, commercial register.
Furna requires no special bookkeeping: the Code of Obligations applies at postal code 7232 as everywhere else, and a well-kept digital file transfers smoothly to any auditor in the canton.
Frequently asked questions
Does MyFiducia.ai work for a business based in Furna?
Yes: the platform runs online, the rules applied are federal (VAT, CO, AHV), and the file can be shared with any fiduciary. A business in Furna manages its documents, VAT and exports exactly as anywhere in Switzerland.
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 Furna as anywhere.
How long must records related to accounting software 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 Furna can therefore archive fully digitally.
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 Furna too.
