FibuMaxRat specialises in pragmatic accounting advisory crafted specifically for small companies operating in Switzerland. We concentrate on the essentials: improving bookkeeping accuracy, simplifying monthly routines, clarifying VAT and tax reporting obligations, and delivering management information that supports decision-making without overwhelming limited resources. Our advisory approach prioritises measurable process improvements that can be implemented by existing staff, coupled with clear documentation and simple controls. We evaluate current systems and software, propose practical configuration changes or lightweight integrations, and where appropriate provide hands-on support during implementation. The goal is to create sustainable routines that reduce time spent on routine accounting tasks while increasing confidence in reported figures, enabling business owners to focus on operations and growth within realistic time and budget constraints.
How we work with small companies
Our engagement begins with a focused diagnostic that maps your existing accounting processes, reporting needs and compliance obligations. We look for immediate opportunities to reduce manual effort, tighten controls and improve the clarity of business information. Recommendations are prioritised by impact and ease of implementation so that changes can be adopted within normal operational rhythms. When implementation is needed we provide step-by-step guidance, template documentation and targeted training for staff to ensure responsibilities are understood. We also help set up concise management dashboards that provide the right information for periodic decisions—cash position, receivables aging, advantage drivers and recurring cost items—without requiring complex data preparation. Throughout the engagement our communication remains direct and practical: we document agreed actions, set timelines and follow up to confirm the improvements are producing the intended effect. This approach is designed to fit the capacity and budget of small Swiss companies and to produce reliable, maintainable accounting practices over time.
