The Swiss alternative to
Xero

An honest assessment:
When Xero, when einzly?

Xero is the better choice if you …

work mainly internationally — for example with clients or an accountant in the English-speaking world
keep double-entry books, for example as a GmbH or AG – or you choose einzly Business for GmbH & AG
use the Xero ecosystem with its apps and accountant connections

einzly is the better choice if you …

run a Swiss sole proprietorship and are allowed to keep simple books (Milchbüechli)
issue QR invoices and want to settle your VAT directly for the FTA — effective or flat-rate
need your year-end closing for the Swiss tax return — because that happens here either way

What einzly does for you

Swiss QR invoices

Create and send QR invoices in seconds — with direct sending and link tracking.

AI receipt scanner

Photograph a receipt, done: einzly reads amount, VAT and category automatically.

VAT for the FTA

Effective or flat-rate — einzly calculates the VAT settlement with all figures for estv.admin.ch automatically.

Bank reconciliation (camt.053/054)

Import the camt.053/054 from your Swiss bank — payments are automatically matched to invoices.

Foreign currencies at ESTV rate

Invoices in EUR, USD or GBP — einzly converts automatically to CHF at the ESTV daily rate.

4 languages, 30 days free

DE, FR, IT, EN — and a 30-day free trial, no credit card needed.
