For your finance department too. We’ve combined the latest technologies with years of financial expertise and packaged them into digital Treuhand⁺ subscriptions.
Digital letterbox
We digitise everything – even your post. You’ll be given a digital letterbox, so you’ll no longer receive any paper letters. This means you can access your post at any time and from anywhere. What’s more, you can not only pay your bills directly via your digital letterbox, but also archive all your documents in a clear and organised way.
Automated bookkeeping
Your invoices are automatically transferred from the digital inbox to your online banking and accounting software. You no longer need to process anything manually; we take care of it all for you. We also check that the documents have been posted correctly and ensure that everything has been processed accurately and in accordance with the law.
Digital payroll administration
From master data maintenance right through to payroll payments, we take care of everything to the highest standard. The payroll run is set up in just a few clicks, and payments are made via an automated link to your online banking.
This means you won’t have to enter salary payments manually in your online banking. What’s more, your staff have online access to their payslips at any time and can view and download them directly via the staff portal.
Reporting and Management Accounting
The SWITRECO Controlling concept includes management reporting, which provides you with transparency on your company's financial situation and serves as an early warning system. We use this to support you in operational and strategic decision-making.
Our performance management approach lays the foundations for better decision-making, reduces financial risks and supports sustainable growth. A well-established management control system not only makes your SME more efficient, but also better equipped to face the future.
CFO⁺ subscription
We’ll take care of your cash flow planning and reporting, draw up a bespoke budget and provide accurate forecasts.
During monthly meetings with your management team, we discuss the latest figures and steer the business towards its goals. By providing sound advice on measures and optimisations, we support your company in a sustainable and effective manner.

Where does the Finance Department⁺ the greatest added value?
SWITRECO’s finance department⁺ adapts to your company’s specific circumstances. For SMEs with a single-entry bookkeeping system or no in-house finance function, we take full responsibility for the operational finance function and act as a sparring partner for senior management. If an internal finance department with a CFO and accounting team is already in place, we take over the operational finance function and relieve the burden on day-to-day operations, allowing the finance management team to focus more on control, strategy and business decisions.
Technology & Network Partners
We rely exclusively on state-of-the-art, tried-and-tested, first-class solutions to guarantee our customers maximum efficiency and long-term success.

Here you’ll find answers to the most important questions about SWITRECO’s Finance Department⁺.
SWITRECO’s Finance Department⁺ is an external finance department for SMEs that takes full responsibility for bookkeeping, payroll, tax, reporting and CFO services. Companies gain access to a professional finance function via a monthly subscription, with clear processes, fixed costs and personalised advice. The aim is to provide reliable figures, transparency and control, so that management can focus on growth and the core business.
The Finance Department⁺ is particularly well suited to SMEs with around 10 to 100 employees that are looking to grow, professionalise their operations or stabilise their financial processes. It adds value where there is a lack of in-house financial expertise, during staff changes, during periods of strong growth, or when the existing finance team needs to be relieved of some of its workload. Even companies with an existing CFO can benefit when operational tasks need to be outsourced.
Depending on the situation, SWITRECO either takes over the entire operational finance department or specific individual tasks. For SMEs with a single-entry bookkeeping system, SWITRECO takes over the bookkeeping entirely and acts as a sparring partner for the management team. If an internal finance department already exists, SWITRECO takes over the operational finance function and takes the pressure off the team, enabling the CFO to focus more on strategy, management and business decisions.
SWITRECO’s CFO services are not merely a consultancy offering, but an integral part of the finance department⁺. In addition to strategy and planning, we handle budgeting and forecasting processes, reporting and controlling, as well as liquidity management and business valuations. The focus is on practical financial management and peer-to-peer consultation, not on theoretical concepts or one-off advice.
The monthly subscription for the Finance Department⁺ offers complete cost transparency and planning security. Instead of variable hourly billing, companies receive clearly defined services for a fixed monthly fee. At the same time, you benefit from standardised digital processes, modern tools, and a dedicated point of contact. This reduces coordination effort, cost surprises, and enables long-term, scalable collaboration.
