Exports for your fiduciary ​

Accounting › Exports brings together all the files of your books: the complete pack of a financial year for your fiduciary, each report as CSV or PDF, and the journal ready to import into their software.

Before you start ​

  • You need the right to export the books. Without it, Exports does not appear in the menu.
  • Does your fiduciary follow your company in To Bill? They download the same files from their cockpit: see Exports and eCH-0217 in the cockpit.

Send the financial year’s pack ​

  1. Open Accounting › Exports.

  2. Choose the Financial year (1), at the top right.

  3. On Bundle for the fiduciary, click Download (2).

    The Exports page: the choice of financial year, the bundle for the fiduciary, the complete archive and the data as CSV.

  4. Send the ZIP file to your fiduciary.

The pack contains the financial year’s journal, trial balance, chart of accounts, balance sheet and income statement.

Download a single file ​

Further down, each file can be downloaded on its own, for the financial year chosen:

GroupFiles
Data (CSV)Journal, Trial balance, Chart of accounts, Balance sheet, Income statement. They open in a spreadsheet.
Financial statements (PDF)Balance sheet and Income statement, ready to print.

The general ledger of an account is downloaded from its page: see Trial balance and general ledger. The Export button of the journal and of the chart of accounts, and the PDF and CSV buttons of the reports, also download the page’s files.

Export to your fiduciary’s software ​

Under For your fiduciary’s software, To Bill prepares the financial year’s journal in the format their software imports: Banana Accounting, Abacus, Crésus Comptabilité or WinBIZ.

The four fiduciary software packages, each with its Mapping and Download buttons.

  1. Ask your fiduciary whether they use the same account numbers and VAT codes as To Bill.

  2. If not, click Mapping (1) on their software’s line.

  3. For each account, enter under In the software the number they use. Do the same for each rate under VAT codes. A field left empty keeps the To Bill value.

    The Mapping window for Banana Accounting: the accounts used and the VAT codes, with the value the software expects.

  4. Click Save. The mapping is kept for future exports.

  5. Click Download (2) on the software’s line, then send the file to your fiduciary.

To Bill confirms the number of entries in the file. If some VAT lines have no code, it says so: complete them in Mapping, then download again.

Abacus

Abacus VAT codes are specific to each company. Use the ones your fiduciary uses.

Also show accounts never used shows the whole chart of accounts, to prepare the mapping in advance.

The VAT file for the FTA ​

At the bottom of the page, VAT file for the FTA Portal (eCH-0217) prepares the return for a period that has ended, to import into the VAT return service on the portal of the Swiss Federal Tax Administration (FTA). See The eCH-0217 file.
