Accounty

Accounting for trades businesses in Switzerland

In the trades, costs arise on site but the bookkeeping happens in the office — often weeks later. Exactly in that gap, materials, hours and change orders get lost.

Cleanly separate day work from flat rates

Day work is billed by effort, flat rates by agreement. If you run both on the same order, in the end you cannot see where the money was made. In Accounty your people record hours on the order from their phones; the invoice comes out of that without anyone retyping reports.

Assign materials to the order

The DIY store's delivery note ends up in the van, the invoice three weeks later in the letterbox. Photograph the document on the go — the document inbox reads supplier, amount and VAT and you attach it to the order.

Instalments and final invoice

Part invoices during a longer order are the rule in the trades. Accounty keeps instalment invoices and credits them in the final invoice so the customer can trace what has already been paid.

Payroll with allowances

Travel time, site allowances, mileage: in the trades, pay rarely consists of base wage alone. Payroll is fully included — no add-on module and no limit on headcount.

What Accounty costs for trades businesses

CHF 29 per month, VAT included. That covers every module — general ledger, receivables with QR-bill, payables, payroll with no employee limit, VAT returns, year-end closing, document inbox with AI recognition, bank reconciliation, cost centres, inventory, cash book, time tracking and CRM. Unlimited users. Cancel monthly.

With many providers, payroll costs extra or is capped by headcount. That is why Accounty usually works out cheaper for businesses with employees than the list price suggests. A comparison with other Swiss solutions is available. If you want to see ten providers side by side, the detailed market analysis is in the article Swiss accounting software compared, 2026.

Who is behind it

Accounty is a product of SEBONA Treuhand Böhner in Kloten. We manage client mandates ourselves and built the software because no existing solution convinced us. If you would rather hand over your bookkeeping than run it yourself: We can take that on too.

Are you a fiduciary managing several mandates? There are dedicated terms from CHF 9 per mandate.

Frequently asked questions

  • How many employees can I run payroll for?

    As many as you like. Accounty costs CHF 29 per month regardless of the number of employees or users.

  • Do I need a special chart of accounts?

    Accounty ships with the Swiss SME chart of accounts, extended by the accounts common in the trades for materials, third-party services and tools. You can adapt it any time.
