Financial Accounting

Keep the books in the system that raised the invoices: journal, chart of accounts, balance sheet, income statement and the Swiss VAT return, from the documents you already posted.

Included from the Professional Edition

Financial accounting is part of the Professional and Enterprise editions. It exists so that the second data entry — the one where somebody retypes a month of invoices into an accounting package — stops happening. Customer invoices post themselves to receivables, supplier invoices to payables, and every posting keeps the reference of the document it came from.

What you get

  • A journal of every booking, filterable by period, account range, currency or text, and openable down to the debit and credit lines
  • Automatic posting of customer invoices, and pre-posting of supplier invoices for you to confirm
  • Collective bookings, for the entries that repeat
  • A chart of accounts you maintain yourself, as a tree of groups and accounts with number, type, currency and default tax
  • Tax codes and rates, each linked to the accounts it books against
  • Balance sheet and income statement over any period, with gross profit, EBITDA and EBIT subtotals, an optional year-on-year comparison and CSV or PDF export

Swiss VAT, calculated rather than compiled

The VAT return is where accounting in a foreign product hurts most. Vinosoft produces the Swiss return itself: the official figures 200 to 510, under the effective method or the net tax rate method, generated for a filing period in the background and delivered as a PDF you can archive, with the Excel behind it.

The tax journal lists every booking that carried a tax code for that period, filtered by quarter, half-year or a range, so a figure on the form can be traced to the documents that produced it — which is the only version of a VAT return worth signing.

For your accountant

The full posting journal exports as CSV with debit and credit account, tax code and document reference, in the shape a fiduciary expects. Balance sheet, income statement and the VAT report all export as PDF, so the year-end pack does not need to be rebuilt by hand.

Foreign currency, and what it is worth today

Customers who buy in euros are booked in euros. Today's rate is fetched and applied with one click, and every document stores the rate it was created with — so a re-print of last year's invoice shows last year's figures rather than being quietly restated by this morning's exchange rate.

For clients who require electronic invoicing, invoices and credit notes can be issued as standards-compliant XRechnung 3.0 (EN 16931 / UBL 2.1) XML on request.
