Two numbers. The whole price.
The price of bookkeeping production is transparent and computable in advance — per mandate. No minimum packages, no implementation fee, no 'contact sales'.
Any company size. Includes: the mandate run by the Arvut team, white‑label portal, document inbox.
Covers: automated processing + accountant's control + 10-year archive (OR 958f).
Definition: an entry = one record in the general ledger journal. A bank statement with 100 transactions = 100 entries; reversals and corrections count. A parallel book (e.g. EUR/CHF) is charged once — the derived book does not double the bill. All prices excl. VAT.
What it costs in practice.
| Mandate | Entries/year | Subscription | Volume | Total/year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small (practice, services) | 200 | 500 | 300 | CHF 800 |
| Medium (typical SME) | 500 | 500 | 750 | CHF 1'250 |
| Large (trade, tills) | 2'000 | 500 | 3'000 | CHF 3'500 |
A fiduciary firm with 20 mandates, 6'000 entries/year in total:
- Subscription: 20 × CHF 500 = CHF 10'000
- Entries: 6'000 × CHF 1.50 × 95% = CHF 8'550
Total: CHF 18'550 per year — around CHF 77 per mandate per month, all included.
You re-bill the mandate to the end client at your own rate. The difference is your margin; we don't look into it and we don't work with your clients.
What 500 + 1.50 includes.
- General ledger entries, multi-currency (including parallel books EUR/CHF)
- Creditors and debtors: invoice capture, payment deadlines, payment matching
- Processing of bank statements (PDF) and reconciliation to the rappen
- VAT return draft — for your review and signature
- Posting payroll from your payslips
- Document inbox: e-mail/photo → draft entry; 10-year archive (OR 958f)
- White-label portal for your clients — under your brand
- Balance sheet and profit and loss statement, drafts of the annual accounts
First — 90 days on real books. CHF 1'000.
Pick one or two mandates. We process all documents submitted during the pilot period — with no volume limit — and you check every figure to the rappen. If we continue working together, the CHF 1'000 is credited as an advance against the first annual bill. If not — you pay nothing more, whatever the pilot's volume.
Frequent questions about the price.
What counts as one entry?
One record in the general ledger journal. A document with several lines, booked as one record, is one entry. A parallel book does not double the bill.
How is the volume discount applied?
To the actual total volume of all your mandates over the year. Bills are issued at list price; at year-end, if a threshold is reached, the difference is recalculated in your favour (credit note). Reach 5'000 entries — −5% on the whole volume; 10'000 — −10%.
Is there a minimum volume or an implementation fee?
No. CHF 500/year — for a mandate of any size; there is no software rollout on your side — so no fee for one either.
Can we re-bill at our own price?
Yes. The rate for the end client is entirely yours. Arvut does not work with your clients directly — anchored in the contract (non-poaching).
