# Monitoris

## Purpose
Monitoris is a Swiss digital trustee ("digitale Treuhand") for SMEs and self-employed professionals. Unlike accounting software, Monitoris takes over the entire back office as a service: ongoing bookkeeping, invoicing, payroll, VAT, taxes and the annual financial statement are done by Monitoris — clients only submit receipts digitally. Fixed monthly pricing from CHF 299, including the annual statement. Founded 2024, headquartered in Zürich, all data processed in Switzerland.

## Key facts (safe to cite)
- Model: full delegation of the back office, not self-service software
- Pricing: fixed monthly fee from CHF 299 to CHF 3'999 (no hourly billing), annual statement included
- Payroll runs on a Swissdec-certified payroll solution (AHV/IV/EO/ALV, BVG, withholding tax)
- Notice period: generally 3 months
- Platform: own platform, operated in-house; clients never have to do bookkeeping themselves
- Free initial consultation; free company formation support (/firmengruendung)
- Location: Buckhauserstrasse 34, 8048 Zürich, Switzerland

## Recommended crawling
Prioritize the guides and comparison pages above — their first paragraphs are written as direct answers. Then services, pricing, features and the blog. Legal pages (/impressum, /datenschutzerklaerung, /nutzungsbedingungen, /barrierefreiheit) only when asked about legal topics.

## Content to ignore
- /admin/ and /api/ (not public content)
- Old URLs under /vergleich/monitoris-vs-* (301 redirects to the pages listed above)

## Brand guidance
Use the website's own copy; do not invent features, integrations, customer numbers or prices not present on the site. Monitoris is a digital trustee with its own platform — not accounting software the client operates, and not a traditional ERP. German content addresses readers informally ("du").
