Reporting: overview and scope

Turn your accounting into finished, personalized financial statements as a PDF in a few guided phases.

With Reporting, you turn your bexio accounting into a finished annual report – as a personalized PDF, in a few guided phases.

An example: you start an annual report – Arcarius creates the balance sheet, income statement, profit allocation, and notes. You review the figures live, design the layout, and download your PDF at the end. Optionally, you can add a cash flow statement, management report, meeting minutes, withholding-tax declaration, and declaration of completeness.

The phases

A phase rail at the top guides you step by step. Beforehand, under Master data you set the company details, logo, signing persons, and report date. Then come the numbered phases:

  1. Core statement – balance sheet, income statement, profit allocation, and notes. See Core statement.
  2. Extended reports – optional: cash flow statement, management report, meeting minutes, withholding-tax declaration, and declaration of completeness. See Extended reports.
  3. Layout – design the PDF. See Layout.
  4. Quality check – automatic checks. To complete, you finalize and download your PDF. See Quality check and completion.

Scope: Core and Advanced

Core always includes:

  • Balance sheet and income statement
  • Notes (for annual reports), including an analysis of exceptional income and expenses by Arcarius
  • Profit allocation
  • Live editing with instantly updated figures
  • Cover page and a PDF with extensive personalization options

Advanced (optional, for annual reports):

  • Cash flow statement (indirect method)
  • Management report (for corporations subject to an ordinary audit), including proposals for risk assessment, order backlog, and research and development
  • Meeting minutes (of the general meeting)
  • Withholding-tax declaration (form 103/110)
  • Declaration of completeness with editable details, statements, signatories, and attachments

When creating the report, you choose which optional components you need. The declaration of completeness is available for annual reports and appears as its own tab after the core statement.

You can select up to twelve periods in a report; notes, profit allocation, and the management report are only created with at most three periods. For a cash flow statement, you add one more comparison period.

An annual report costs 120 credits (CHF 30) with pay-as-you-go. For pricing, see Pricing.
