Our prices
Hourly rate from CHF 160. At this rate, a fiduciary with a federal qualification works on your mandate. For specialist work such as complex VAT questions, the rate is higher; we tell you the rate in advance.
Ongoing accounting from CHF 250 per month.
We estimate the effort in the initial consultation based on your previous receipts. The initial consultation takes twenty minutes and is free of charge.
Verified quality for your figures
Rodolfo Intaglietta, owner of ONE! Treuhand, is a Treuhänder mit eidg. Fachausweis (Swiss fiduciary with Federal Diploma of Higher Education) and a Diplomierter Experte in Rechnungslegung und Controlling (Expert in Accounting and Controlling with Advanced Federal Diploma of Higher Education). The second diploma is the highest level of Swiss professional education in accounting and is classified at level 8 of the national qualifications framework, the top of eight levels.
In Switzerland, the title of fiduciary is not protected. Anyone may use it, even without an exam. The two qualifications above, by contrast, are federal and may only be held after passing the exam.
What our membership in TREUHAND|SUISSE means
ONE! Treuhand is a member of TREUHAND|SUISSE, the Swiss fiduciary association. Before admission, the association checks four things and requires them on an ongoing basis:
- a federal qualification in the fiduciary field
- four years of professional experience in Switzerland before admission
- at least four days of continuing education per year
- professional liability insurance with coverage of at least CHF 500,000
In addition, a current extract from the criminal record and an extract from the debt enforcement register without certificates of loss are required. You can look up our entry in the association’s public directory.
Three tools included in the monthly fee
These three systems are included in ongoing accounting. They are the reason our mandate is more than a collection of posted receipts.
The ONE! Treuhand App
Photograph receipts instead of collecting them. The app brings together receipt capture, accounts payable, accounts receivable, VAT receipts, payroll documents and closing documents in one interface.
The Smart Profit System
Instead of the usual three bank accounts, we set up five. Every payment you receive is split by fixed percentages between VAT, taxes, operating costs and investments.
The Smart Spend System
While Smart Profit organizes your income, Smart Spend answers the same question for your expenses: the four goals that every expense should meet.
What your price depends on
We estimate the effort based on your previous receipts. It increases with the number of your employees:
- How many receipts you have per month. Every invoice is checked, assigned to an account, posted and reconciled with the bank account. A restaurant with a daily cash closing therefore has more receipts than a consulting firm with twelve invoices a month.
- How many salaries you process. Each employee means payroll, social insurance and annual reports.
What you no longer do yourself
The price is one side. The other is the work that is then no longer on your desk.
The hours. Sorting receipts, posting them, reconciling the bank, filing the VAT return. Our clients regularly tell us they save up to four hours a week. These hours used to fall mostly in the evening or on the weekend. You can work out what they are worth in your business better than we can.
The deadlines. The VAT return is due 60 days after the end of the quarter. If you miss it, you pay default interest on the amount owed. You no longer need to keep track of these dates.
The question of whether it is correct. When your accounting is kept by someone who has passed the federal exam and is insured for it, you do not have to judge for yourself whether a posting is right.
The figures in spring. If your books are kept up to date all year, the annual financial statements are a date in the calendar, not a project.
The real value does not appear on the invoice: you have a clear head for your business and a dedicated contact person when a posting is unclear or the VAT audit comes. And someone who knows your figures and tells you where something can be done for less before the financial statements are final.

How to recognize a qualified fiduciary
You can check these six points at any fiduciary firm, including ours.
- A federal qualification. A Federal Diploma of Higher Education or an Advanced Federal Diploma, stated in the imprint or the email signature. The title of fiduciary alone says nothing, because it is not protected.
- Listing with a professional association. TREUHAND|SUISSE, EXPERTsuisse and veb.ch keep public directories that you can search.
- Professional liability insurance. Ask about the coverage amount.
- Continuing education. Something in tax law changes every year.
- Proven experience. How long has the firm existed, and how many mandates does it handle?
- A dedicated contact person. Do you know who keeps your accounts?
ONE! Treuhand has existed since 2009, we support more than 300 companies and you have a dedicated contact person with us.
