Reports

Gäld generates the standard Swiss financial reports from your ledger data in real time.

Profit & Loss (Erfolgsrechnung)​

Shows revenue and expenses over a selected period to determine net income.

  • Revenue — accounts in class 3
  • Cost of goods — accounts in class 4
  • Personnel costs — accounts in class 5
  • Operating expenses — accounts in class 6
  • Net result = Total Revenue − Total Expenses

Access: Reports → Profit & Loss

Select a date range using the from/to date pickers. Typical use: full fiscal year (January 1 – December 31) or a quarter.

Balance Sheet (Bilanz)​

Shows the financial position of the organisation at a specific date.

  • Assets (class 1) — what the business owns
  • Liabilities (class 2) — what the business owes
  • Equity = Assets − Liabilities

Access: Reports → Balance Sheet

The balance sheet date defaults to today. For year-end reporting, set it to December 31.

Trial Balance (Saldobilanz)​

Lists every account with its total debits, total credits, and running balance. Useful for verifying that books are balanced and for year-end review.

Access: Accounting → Trial Balance

The trial balance always balances: total debits = total credits across all accounts.

VAT Report​

Summarises output VAT (Umsatzsteuer) and input VAT (Vorsteuer) for a period, giving you the net amount payable to the ESTV.

Access: Reports → VAT Report

See Swiss VAT for details on how to use this report for your quarterly MWST declaration.

Cash Flow Report​

Shows operating, investing, and financing cash flows derived from your ledger using the indirect method. Useful for monitoring liquidity alongside the accrual-based P&L.

Access: Reports → Cash Flow

See Cash Flow Report for a full breakdown of each section.

Aging Report​

Lists outstanding customer invoices (receivables) and supplier bills (payables) grouped by how long they have been overdue, with colour-coded brackets.

Access: Reports → Aging

See Aging Report for bracket definitions and how to send reminders directly from the report.

P&L Comparison​

Places two or more periods side by side to track revenue and expense trends. Supports up to six simultaneous periods with optional budget overlay.

Access: Reports → P&L Comparison

See P&L Comparison for period configuration and export options.

Date Filtering​

All reports respect the date range you select. Your fiscal year start date (configured in Settings → Organisation) is used as the default year-start when opening a report.

Exporting​

Every report can be exported to PDF or CSV using the Export button in the top-right corner of the report page. PDF exports are formatted for print and sharing; CSV exports are suitable for further analysis in a spreadsheet.
