Cross-border business means extra work.
EUR invoices, Italian suppliers and exchange-rate differences complicate every reconciliation – and cost time you do not have.
Outsourced bookkeeping service for Swiss SMEs
Accounting for SMEs
Your accounting in Ticino.
Clients in German-speaking Switzerland, suppliers in Italy, receipts in two languages: Ticino SMEs work across language and national borders – the accounting has to keep up. digitello handles bookkeeping, payroll, VAT and annual closing continuously and digitally, with a fixed personal contact.
Accounting in Ticino
Two languages, two countries – and one set of books in between.
From the Sottoceneri to the Sopraceneri, businesses combine trade, hospitality and services with close ties to Italy and German-speaking Switzerland. Administratively, that means EUR receipts, withholding tax and paperwork in several languages.
Withholding tax as a permanent topic.
Cross-border commuters and changing workloads require correct, on-time notifications – month after month.
Paperwork in two languages.
Italian and German invoices, contracts and official mail end up in separate filing – and the overview suffers.
The solution
Accounting that connects both worlds.
digitello brings your receipts together in one ongoing digital process, regardless of language or origin: foreign currencies are booked cleanly, withholding-tax notifications filed on time, and VAT and closing prepared reliably.
Ticino businesses with ties to German-speaking Switzerland and Italy get clear, current numbers – and a contact who is at home in more than one language, English included.

Yes. We record employees subject to withholding tax and the associated recurring notifications during the initial assessment and build them into a reliable payroll process.
