Question 1

Do I even need accounting as a freelancer?

Accepted Answer

Yes. As soon as you work as a freelancer in Switzerland, you are legally required to keep books under CO Art. 957. As a sole proprietorship with revenue under CHF 500,000, a simple income and expense record is sufficient. Einzly does exactly that – digitally and automatically.

Question 2

When do I become VAT-liable as a freelancer?

Accepted Answer

As soon as your annual revenue exceeds CHF 100,000, you are required to charge VAT. Einzly automatically calculates VAT on every invoice and generates your return – whether flat-rate or effective method.

Question 3

What can I deduct from taxes as a freelancer?

Accepted Answer

Typical deductions: office/home office, software & tools, hardware (laptop, monitor), professional literature, training, travel costs, insurance, and phone/internet. Einzly helps you track all expenses properly – so you don't miss anything.

Question 4

Is einzly cheaper than an accountant?

Accepted Answer

Significantly. An accountant costs CHF 150–250 per hour. Einzly costs CHF 15/month and handles 90% of the work: invoices, VAT, reminders, year-end closing. For complex tax questions, you can still consult an accountant.

Question 5

Can I create invoices in multiple languages?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Einzly supports German, French, Italian and English. You can choose the language per invoice – ideal when you have clients in different language regions.

Question 6

Does einzly work on mobile?

Accepted Answer

Yes, einzly is a Progressive Web App (PWA). You can install it on iPhone or Android like a native app on your home screen – no App Store needed. You can photograph receipts directly with your camera.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Einzly Basic costs CHF 15/month or CHF 129/year. Einzly Pro with email sending and link tracking costs CHF 25/month or CHF 219/year. The first 30 days are free – no credit card required.
