Sole proprietors
Self-employed: a file to validate or to hand over — not total autonomy
As a sole proprietor, the dominant cost is your personal time — not team chaos. Cortex structures receipts and photos, proposes entries, flags uncertainty. You review, export to Banana or Crésus, or send a ZIP to your fiduciary. Cortex does not keep the books in your place.

Human validation is required before export.
Catch-up between assignments
Supporting documents pile up after clients, before a return, an instalment or a closing. In the evening it is your time — not an assistant’s.
Cortex takes the pile (PDFs, receipt photos), splits, renames and numbers. It proposes; it does not decide.
Distinct from an SME
An SME has several depositors and team volume. Here one person decides, several clients, one binder. If several colleagues deposit, see the SME page.
What Cortex does — and does not
It structures and proposes. It does not compute AHV/AVS contributions, register the sole proprietorship at the commercial register, or fill the FTA form.
The Swiss VAT registration threshold (turnover, art. 10 VAT Act, general information around CHF 100,000) is not personal advice. Cortex does not tell you whether you must register.
Handing over to the fiduciary
A structured ZIP and proposed entries ease recovery. The firm stays responsible for advice, filings and compliance.
Cortex is not a fiduciary service. It does not take the mandate.
Light tools, not an SME ERP
Banana, Excel, Crésus on your own: no need to migrate to an SME suite. Cortex exports to the format you already use.
The trial planned in the product (duration and credits) is on the pricing page. This text does not invent an amount.
FAQ
Does Cortex file my Swiss VAT?
No. Cortex does not fill the return. The VAT Act threshold mentioned here is general information, not registration advice.
Can I let it run without reviewing?
No. Export waits for validation. Cortex is not accounting without you.
What if I have a team?
This page is for solo work. Team volume and several depositors: SME page.
Can I stay on Banana?
Yes. Banana is an export format. Cortex does not require an SME ERP.
