A fiduciary firm. A mathematician. A blank page. 📖
The story of Konta-Swiss does not begin in a start-up or an IT lab.
It begins in a Neuchâtel fiduciary firm, faced with federal binders full of accounting pages to enter.
Christine, head of Finea SA, saw the same paradox every day:
→ Self-employed people spending astronomical amounts to have their accounting entered
→ Or fiddling with Excel, with formulas that break and errors that cost dearly
She talks about it with her husband Florian, a mathematician.
“What if we started from scratch?”
That was in 2022. The adventure was beginning.
The challenge we set ourselves: software that works for two completely opposite users:
🔹 the small self-employed person who struggles with Excel and just wants to enter their accounts simply
🔹 the accounting expert who goes much further: complex VAT statements, closings, complete process in autonomy
And everything in between.
Each module was developed, tested and validated with the Finea fiduciary team on real cases, real constraints, real clients.
When the first delighted user feedback came in… we knew we were onto something.
Today, Konta-Swiss is a complete, Swiss ERP, designed by people who do accounting every day.
Not a marketing promise. A tool born from the field.
Behind every accounting entry in Konta-Swiss, there is Alba — our AI assistant.
Her job? To save you time.
Concretely, Alba:
→ Automatically recognizes your supplier invoices (PDF)
→ Suggests the accounting entries while you are entering
→ Learns from your habits: the more you use her, the more precise she becomes
→ Always leaves you the last word — you keep full control
What used to take hours of manual entry is now done in a few minutes.
And unlike a “black box” AI, Alba follows a simple rule: she suggests, you decide. Your automations remain adjustable at any time.
Artificial intelligence at the service of your accounting — not the other way around.
Would you too like to delegate repetitive entry to an assistant who never gets the VAT wrong? 😉
Drive your business in “GPS” mode — not with the rearview mirrors 🙂
“Konta-Swiss has profoundly transformed our accounting and financial management.” 💬
This is the assessment of Ludovic Moulin, director of ObelysQ SA, after more than a year of use.
What he takes away from it:
🎯 A simple and quick adoption
“The quick learning curve allowed our team to adopt it easily, without any particular difficulty.”
📊 A clear, real-time visibility
As a director, this is what he appreciates most: the dashboards and reporting make it possible to “make more informed decisions, while saving valuable time on a daily basis.”
💰 An excellent value for money
Compared to his previous solution, Konta-Swiss stands out with more complete features AND reduced costs. “A real asset for our company.”
And he is already following with interest the new features to come 😉
This testimonial sums up our reason for being: giving directors a clear vision of their company, to decide better! Not to be subjected to their figures.
Thank you Ludovic Moulin for your trust 🙏 his full testimonial in the comments of this post and on the Konta-swiss website
3 questions to ask your fiduciary firm before the end of the half-year 🤨
Most self-employed people and managers of small SMEs see their fiduciary firm once or twice a year. That is often too little — and the wrong questions cost dearly.
Here are 3 questions that change the dynamic:
❓ 1. “Is my net margin rate within the norm for my sector?” → You will know if you are really profitable — or if you are working for nothing.
❓ 2. “What expenses could I legally optimize this year still?” → There are 6 months left. Tax decisions are made before 31 December, not after.
❓ 3. “Does my accounting tool make you lose time?” → If your fiduciary firm reformats your files every month, you are paying for that without knowing it.
✅ A good fiduciary firm + a well-configured ERP = zero friction, zero surprises at the end of the year.
What question do you ask your fiduciary firm that you would recommend to others?

5 VAT mistakes made by French-speaking Swiss SMEs (and how to avoid them)
After talking to dozens of SME managers in French-speaking Switzerland, here are the 5 most frequent VAT mistakes:
❌ 1. Confusing the standard rate (8.1%) and the reduced rate (2.6%)
Hotels, catering, food have their own rules. A mistake costs dearly at audit.
❌ 2. Forgetting imported services (reverse charge)
Services purchased abroad (Google Ads, SaaS software)? You must self-declare the VAT.
❌ 3. Not consolidating the statements at the end of the year (annual reconciliation)
A discrepancy between your accounts and your yearly statements = red flag for the FTA.
❌ 4. Classifying “mixed expenses” as 100% deductible
Car, telephone, home office → rules of proportional deduction.
❌ 5. Missing the filing deadline
60 days after the accounting period. Penalties add up quickly.
✅ The good news: a well-configured ERP handles all this automatically.
Which of these mistakes has cost you the most?
Drive your business in “GPS” mode instead of using the rearview mirrors to look only at the past 🙂
The difference between accounting and ERP — explained in 60 seconds
Many SMEs confuse the two. Here is the clear distinction:
📒 Accounting software
→ Records transactions after the fact
→ Generates the balance sheets
→ Manages VAT
→ Generates salaries
→ Allows driving “with the rearview mirrors”
🏭 ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning)
→ Links accounting + invoicing + inventory + HR
→ All in a single interface
→ Real-time data
→ Decisions based on today’s figures — not yesterday’s
→ Allows driving “with GPS”
The real question for a French-speaking Swiss SME is not “do I need accounting software?”
It is: “am I losing time copying data from one tool to another?”
If yes → you need an ERP, not just accounting.
What is your setup today? Accounting alone or an integrated system?
