Who Zoho Accounting is for
If one of these sounds like your situation in Basel-Landschaft, this service is likely a good fit.

Business owners replacing spreadsheets or older software
If invoices, bills and bank statements live in spreadsheets, Zoho Books centralises them and saves hours each month.
Problems Zoho Accounting solves
These are the issues we see most often with businesses in Basel-Landschaft.
Tax set-up that does not match local rules
Wrong tax codes lead to wrong returns. In Basel-Landschaft, books must reflect 8.1% standard VAT and be ready for review by the Federal Tax Administration and cantonal tax offices. Ask about it early if your team works from Liestal, Allschwil or Muttenz.
Bank reconciliation that takes days
Without feeds and rules, every transaction is matched by hand. Automated rules reduce this to review and approval. It is a frequent topic for pharmaceuticals owners across Basel-Landschaft.
Stock and sales that do not agree
If inventory sits in a separate sheet, margins are guesswork. Linked items give real cost and stock figures. In Basel-Landschaft, a short workshop on this saves weeks later.
What you get with Zoho Accounting
Every project is documented, so your team understands what was built and why.
Automated recurring invoices, reminders and approvals
We train bookkeepers and approvers and review usage after the first close.
Accountant and bookkeeper access with the right permissions
We compare the results with your existing reports before you rely on them.
Opening balances and historical clean-up
We document the settings and the month-end steps in a short handbook.

- 1
Connect banks and write rules
Link bank feeds, then add rules for repeat payees so categorisation happens automatically. Teams in Liestal usually raise this in the first call.
- 2

Import contacts, items and opening balances
Clean lists first, import in small batches and reconcile opening balances to your last trial balance. Ask about it early if your team works from Liestal, Allschwil or Muttenz.

Design the chart of accounts
Keep it as simple as your reporting allows, and agree account names with your accountant before importing balances. We see this regularly with pharmaceuticals businesses in Liestal and Allschwil.
Before you start: preparation checklist
Having these ready usually shortens the project.
