    Template with SME Chart of Accounts, compliant with the rules established in the Swiss Code of Obligations (Art. 957 and following). Ideal for managing the accounting of a business with an annual turnover of at least CHF 500,000.

    • You can customize the accounts to suit your specific needs.
    • To streamline data entry, you can use bank data import with the Rules feature: for each imported transaction, you assign a keyword (Rule) and complete all other fields of the record (e.g., counterpart, cost center). For subsequent imports, the program automatically completes the record whenever it detects the keyword in the imported data, significantly reducing work time and minimizing errors.

    Many automation features, such as bank data import with Rules, filtering, and other advanced functions, are available exclusively in the Advanced plan of Banana Accounting Plus.
