Foreign currencies create extra work.
EUR invoices, USD payments, exchange-rate differences: what is everyday business internationally quickly becomes a source of errors in the books.
Outsourced bookkeeping service for Swiss SMEs
Accounting for SMEs
Your accounting in Basel.
International clients, receipts in several currencies, employees subject to withholding tax: in Basel, the accounting quickly gets more complex than a small team can absorb. digitello handles bookkeeping, payroll, VAT and annual closing – continuously maintained, digitally organised and with a fixed personal contact who explains the Swiss specifics in plain English.
Accounting in Basel
High complexity, small team – and the books stuck in between.
Basel businesses often work internationally, in several languages and with demanding client and staffing structures. The admin grows faster than the time available to deal with it.
Payroll with withholding tax is demanding.
Cross-border commuters, international employees and recurring notifications demand precision – and consume a disproportionate amount of internal time.
The overview falls by the wayside.
Between projects, clients and deadlines there is no current view of earnings and liquidity – decisions rest on outdated numbers.
The solution
International complexity, reliably organised.
Before we start, digitello clarifies which currencies, systems, document flows and payroll constellations matter – and builds an ongoing process from them. You hand over receipts digitally, we process them regularly, reconcile accounts and keep withholding tax and VAT deadlines reliably on track.
Basel SMEs – from trading companies to specialised agencies – get accounting that can handle international business without building an in-house finance department. And if you run your company in English, Swiss VAT and social insurance are explained, not assumed.
What changes for you
Currencies booked cleanly.
EUR, USD and other currencies are planned into the process from day one – including transparent handling of exchange rates.
Payroll without friction.
Withholding tax, social insurance and notifications run on a fixed monthly rhythm – on time and double-checked.
Current numbers for decisions.
Continuously maintained reports show how projects, costs and liquidity are developing – not just at year-end.

Frequently asked questions
Accounting in Basel.
Can digitello handle accounting with foreign currencies?
Yes. We record the relevant currencies, payment channels and systems during the initial assessment and reflect the complexity in the process and the monthly fee – so international transactions are booked cleanly and traceably.
Do you support English-speaking business owners in Basel?
Yes. Your fixed personal contact works with you in English and explains Swiss requirements such as VAT, social insurance and withholding tax as you go – you do not need to know the Swiss system by heart.
How is the monthly fee calculated?
The fee is based on booking volume, payroll scope, VAT, foreign currencies, systems and complexity, among other factors. Simple ongoing bookkeeping starts at CHF 99 per month; the final fee is calculated individually.
