Why SoloLedger exists

SoloLedger wasn't built as a startup idea — it started as the tool I needed myself.

Founder's note

When I launched my own sole proprietorship, all I wanted was an easy way to keep track of what came in and what went out. Everything I tried was either a spreadsheet I had to design myself or accounting software built for fiduciaries — powerful, but overkill for one person.

So I built SoloLedger for myself first: create an invoice in a minute, snap a receipt with my phone, and always know how much to set aside for AHV and taxes. Everything lives in my own Google Sheet, so my data is never locked in.

That's still the bar for every feature: it has to be easy enough that I actually use it every day. I run my own books on SoloLedger — and if it makes your first year as simple as it made mine, it's doing its job.

Creating and managing your personal company has never been this easy

A sole proprietorship (Einzelunternehmen) is the simplest legal form — no capital, no notary, no waiting. SoloLedger picks up your books from day one.

Einzelunternehmen

Three steps to your own company

Start working

Your sole proprietorship legally exists the moment you begin commercial activity. No founding act, no minimum capital.

Notify your cantonal compensation fund (Ausgleichskasse). This is the only mandatory step from day one, regardless of revenue.

Track finances with SoloLedger

Issue invoices, log expenses, and get canton-aware tax projections — all on the Google Sheets you already know.

Know the numbers that matter

Swiss law keeps it simple: clear thresholds tell you exactly when new obligations kick in.

CHF 0

Minimum capital

No capital requirement, no notary, no blocked bank account. Just start.

CHF 2,300

AHV threshold

Annual income above this triggers mandatory social insurance contributions (AHV/IV/EO).

CHF 100k

Mandatory commercial register entry and VAT registration (8.1%) once annual revenue exceeds this.

CHF 500k

Double-entry bookkeeping

Below this, a simple income-and-expense statement is enough. SoloLedger handles both.

Your ledger stays in Google

SoloLedger orchestrates your books — it does not store your invoices, expenses, or receipts on our servers. We build on the Google account almost everyone already has.

Best experience, lowest price — because we rely on Google

Nearly every solopreneur already has a Google account. By keeping your ledger in Sheets, proofs on Drive, and optional AI on Gemini, SoloLedger stays a thin layer: no hosted database of your books, no lock-in, and a price that stays honest. You get a polished Swiss workflow; Google carries the storage you already pay for (or get free), and Gemini powers the AI features.

Frequently asked questions

Where is my accounting data stored?

In your own Google account. Your ledger lives in Google Sheets and your receipts in Google Drive — SoloLedger reads and updates them, but never keeps your books on its own servers.

How much does SoloLedger cost?

CHF 10 per month for the first 100 subscribers (early bird), then CHF 20 per month. Annual billing gets two months free, and every plan starts with a 7-day free trial — no card required.

Does it handle Swiss taxes?

Yes. SoloLedger estimates your taxes and AVS/AHV contributions using your canton's rules — all 26 cantons are covered.

Can it create Swiss QR-bill invoices?

Yes. Invoices are generated with the Swiss QR bill, ready for your clients to pay.

Do I need accounting knowledge?

No. SoloLedger is built for solopreneurs and small companies without a bookkeeper: you record invoices and expenses, and the app keeps the ledger, charts, and tax estimates in order.
