Sage Start for small businesses and startups
Sage launches the new 2017 version of Sage Start, which makes it even easier for small businesses and start-ups to work with their trustees. Thanks to Sage Start, entrepreneurs can now receive direct online support from the trustee even in those areas to which they themselves have not subscribed.
Especially in complex payroll accounting, a flexible program solution offers enormous advantages. Of course, with the 2017 version, customers are ready for the ISO 20022 formats of the new payment traffic that Swiss financial institutions are gradually introducing.
Flexible cooperation with trustee
The new Sage Start offers the advantage that especially young and small entrepreneurs can start lean and cost-effective with the invoicing, but the trustee can access the complete range of functions of the software from his side. Thus, the trustee can manage the payroll accounting in Sage Start of the trustee customer, even if the customer has subscribed to Sage Start Invoicing only, for example.
Trilingual supported version
"Experience has shown that payroll accounting is the most difficult area for our clients because it is very complex," says Maxime Bossy, Managing Director at the fiduciary company Findea. "With the new Sage Start, it's easy for us to guide our clients safely and competently, especially when it comes to wages. Moreover, since Sage Start is trilingual, it is also suitable for serving our clients in French-speaking Switzerland and Ticino."
Hybrid cloud model
Flexible collaboration is made possible by Sage Start's hybrid cloud model, in which only the application data is kept in the cloud. For example, if the fiduciary customer uses Sage Start Financial Accounting, he sees the corresponding posting of wages in his accounting. If the customer subsequently decides to subscribe to payroll accounting himself, he immediately receives full access to all payroll entries already made.
Data sovereignty remains with the trustee customer at all times. The customer can grant and withdraw access to his data to the trustee in just a few steps.
Ready for the new payment traffic
With ISO 20022, Swiss financial institutions are standardizing the formats for data exchange between companies and banks. Sage Start already provides all the new formats for transfers, account statements and ISR reporting. Thanks to the new ISO standard, all movements in e-banking can be reconciled with Sage Start accounting in a fully automated way, which greatly simplifies liquidity management. This bank account reconciliation works with all Swiss banks.
The business software is modular and available from CHF 30.-/month. Updates and support are included. Further links:
