Frequently asked questions

Outsourcing your accounting and payroll: your questions.

Which standards do you keep the books to?

Those of your entity's country: Swiss Code of Obligations and Swiss GAAP FER in Switzerland, PCG in France, PCMN in Belgium, PCN in Luxembourg, HGB in Germany, UGB in Austria and IFRS for groups. Payroll follows the same country's social rules: AHV, BVG and Swissdec in Switzerland, DSN in France, ONSS in Belgium.

Who approves and files the returns?

You, your chartered accountant or your fiduciary. Our teams prepare the entries, returns and financial statements; checking, approving and filing them remain on your side, together with the legal responsibility that goes with it.

Which software do you work in?

Yours: Bexio, Banana, Sage, Cegid, EBP, QuickBooks, Xero, Pennylane, Odoo, SAP or Microsoft Dynamics 365 for accounting; Silae, PayFit, SD Worx and Swissdec-certified solutions for payroll; Workday, Lucca or Factorial for HR.

How is financial and payroll data protected?

Good-ID acts as a processor under Article 28 GDPR and the Swiss nFADP: you remain the controller, and a data processing agreement (DPA) governs the relationship. Data is processed under the responsibility of Good-ID Sàrl, in Geneva. Every team member signs a confidentiality agreement, and access is limited to the files entrusted to us.

How is the service billed?

With a fixed monthly fee for a full-time service, set out in the service contract. No hourly billing. For a one-off need (a year-end closing, a bookkeeping backlog), we can also work on a project basis, with a scope agreed in advance.

Can I try it before committing?

Yes. The first month is a non-binding trial period: you assess the quality of the work delivered before any long-term commitment. If you would rather start small, a first project with a defined scope is also possible.
