AX-Fiduciaire (Ark Fiduciaire SA) is an official Odoo partner based in Geneva. We support Geneva-based companies — SMEs, start-ups, service companies, international trade players and international organisations — in implementing and operating Odoo ERP, the world's most widely deployed open-source business management platform.
Our local presence in Geneva is a decisive advantage: we know the specificities of the Geneva economic fabric, cantonal tax obligations, the realities of the cross-border labour market and the expectations of internationally active companies. We travel to your premises for project meetings, training and on-site support. You have a single, available interlocutor who speaks your language.
Our dual expertise — licensed fiduciary and Odoo integrator — is rare on the Geneva market. It allows you to consolidate your accounting, tax declarations, payroll and business management in a single, coherent environment, perfectly compliant with Swiss law.
Why Geneva Needs an ERP like Odoo
Geneva is one of the most sophisticated and demanding economic hubs in Europe. Its economic fabric is of exceptional diversity, which generates particularly complex management needs — and makes Odoo a particularly relevant choice.
A Leading International Hub
Geneva is home to more than 40 international organisations, including the UN, WHO, ICRC, WTO and hundreds of diplomatic missions. Thousands of supplier companies gravitate around this ecosystem: consultants, translators, IT providers, security companies, communication agencies. These companies have specific needs: multilingual invoicing, multi-currency management (CHF, USD, EUR), reporting in international standards, project and budget tracking by mission.
A World-Class Financial Sector
Private banks, insurance companies, wealth management firms, fintechs — Geneva's financial sector employs tens of thousands of people and generates financial flows of extreme complexity. Odoo meets the needs of these players with advanced analytical accounting modules, fee management and sophisticated client CRM.
International Trade
Geneva is a world capital of commodity trading (oil, precious metals, grain, coffee). Trading companies established in the canton have very specific needs: real-time multi-currency management, forward contract tracking, hedge accounting, international stock and logistics management. Odoo, with its purchasing and stock management module, effectively meets these requirements when correctly configured.
Start-ups and Innovation
Geneva's start-up ecosystem is one of the most dynamic in Switzerland, driven by the proximity of CERN, EPFL Lausanne, universities of applied sciences and an active venture capital community. Geneva start-ups need an ERP that grows with them: Odoo offers ideal modularity — start with invoicing and CRM, then add accounting, payroll and e-commerce as the business grows, without migration or system change.
Local SMEs and Artisans
Beyond large structures, Geneva has thousands of SMEs and artisans — plumbers, carpenters, real estate agencies, medical practices, restaurants, boutiques — who need simple, reliable and affordable management. Odoo offers a complete solution at a cost far below that of traditional ERPs, with an accessible learning curve even without extensive IT training.
Multi-Currency and Multilingual Needs
In a city where 200 nationalities meet, Geneva companies often need to manage their operations in multiple languages and multiple currencies simultaneously. Odoo is natively multilingual (available in French, English, German, Spanish, Arabic and dozens of other languages) and manages currency conversions in real time with automated exchange rates. This is a decisive advantage for internationally active companies.
Geneva Cantonal Tax Specificities
The canton of Geneva has its own tax regime: cantonal corporate income tax rate, withholding tax according to the cantonal scale, CAFI family allowances (Caisse Cantonale Genevoise d'Allocations Familiales), and specific VAT rules for cross-border activities. AX-Fiduciaire configures Odoo so that your accounting is in permanent compliance with these local requirements — without you having to worry about it.
Our Odoo Services in Geneva
As an official Odoo partner in Geneva, we cover the entire lifecycle of an ERP project, from the initial study to daily support.
Odoo Implementation
We carry out the complete Odoo implementation for your company: analysis of your business processes, solution design, environment configuration, specific developments if necessary, acceptance testing, user training and production go-live. Our deployment method is structured in clear phases, with defined milestones and transparent communication at every step.
Odoo Accounting
The Odoo accounting module is the heart of the system. We configure it according to the Swiss PMC chart of accounts, the VAT rates in force (8.1%, 2.6%, 3.8%), VAT codes for exports and services to foreign clients, and Geneva cantonal tax specificities. Odoo accounting interfaces with your bank (e-banking), your cash register and your other business tools.
Swissdec Payroll
Swissdec payroll in Odoo is our speciality. We configure Swiss social deductions (AHV/IV/EO, ALV, BVG, UVG, UVGZ, KTG), withholding tax for foreign residents and cross-border workers, CAFI family allowances, and electronic declarations to insurers and the tax administration. All in strict compliance with the Swissdec standard, used by all Swiss compensation funds and insurers.
CRM and Sales
The Odoo CRM and Sales module allows you to manage your sales pipeline, create professional offers, track your opportunities and automate client follow-ups. We configure it according to your sales cycle, your sales teams and your reporting needs. For Geneva companies with an international client base, we configure document templates in several languages and currencies.
Inventory and Purchasing
Stock and procurement management via the Odoo Inventory and Purchasing module is essential for retailers, trading companies and industrial businesses. We configure warehouses, replenishment rules, bills of materials, receipt and shipping flows, as well as interfaces with carriers and customs portals for importing or exporting companies.
Migration to Odoo
Are you currently using Bexio, Crésus, Abacus, SAP or another software? We manage migration to Odoo from A to Z: extraction and cleansing of your historical data, mapping to the new Odoo data schema, recovery of opening balances, transfer of contacts and sales history, consistency tests and final validation. The continuity of your activity is guaranteed throughout the process.
Odoo Training
Odoo training is essential to get the most out of the system. We offer on-site training at your Geneva premises, adapted to each profile: business users, accountants, HR managers, sales staff and system administrators. Our training is practical and contextualised to your activity — not generic training on an empty system.
Support and Maintenance
After launch, your system needs reliable Odoo support. We offer maintenance contracts including: functional assistance by phone and email, version updates, bug fixes, minor developments and supervision of your hosting. As a local partner in Geneva, we can intervene on-site quickly in the event of an urgent need.
Geneva Compliance: What We Configure in Odoo
Compliance with legal and tax requirements is non-negotiable. Here are the Geneva-specific configurations that we systematically carry out.
Geneva Cantonal Withholding Tax
Geneva applies withholding tax (IS) to foreign resident employees without permit C and to cross-border workers. The Geneva cantonal scale includes several codes (A, B, C, D, E, G, H...) depending on family situation and residence status. We configure Odoo to automatically apply the correct scale to each employee, calculate the monthly deduction, and generate statements for the Geneva cantonal tax administration (AFC-GE).
CAFI Family Allowances
The Caisse Cantonale Genevoise d'Allocations Familiales (CAFI) is the competent body for family allowances in the canton. CAFI contribution rates are specific to Geneva and differ from those of other cantons. We configure Odoo to correctly calculate and declare these contributions within the framework of Swissdec payroll processing.
VAT Specificities for International Trade
Many Geneva companies are active in goods exports or the provision of services to clients established outside Switzerland. The applicable VAT rules — export exemption, place of supply for B2B and B2C services, intermediary regime — require precise configuration. We configure Odoo VAT codes for each type of transaction and ensure correct recovery of input VAT on purchases.
France-Switzerland Cross-Border Workers
Geneva is the Swiss canton that proportionally has the largest number of cross-border workers. These workers, residing in France (Ain, Haute-Savoie) and working in Geneva, are subject to a specific tax regime defined by the Franco-Swiss tax treaty. Odoo is configured to apply withholding tax scale G, manage residence certificates, and produce salary certificates in the required format.
Multi-Currency CHF/EUR for Cross-Border Transactions
For Geneva companies that pay some of their suppliers or employees in euros, or that invoice European clients, Odoo's multi-currency management is a major asset. We configure automatic exchange rates (ECB, SNB or customised rates), multi-currency bank accounts and periodic revaluation of currency positions at period-end.
The Sectors We Support in Geneva
Our knowledge of the Geneva economic fabric allows us to adapt Odoo to the realities of each sector of activity.
Service Companies and Consulting
Consulting firms, communication agencies, engineering offices, IT companies and other service providers make up a large part of our Geneva client base. For these companies, we configure project and timesheet management, milestone or time-based invoicing, CRM and contract renewal tracking. Profitability by client and by project is at the heart of reporting.
Retail and E-Commerce
Shops, concept stores and online-selling brands benefit from a complete Odoo solution: point of sale (POS) integrated with accounting, real-time stock management, synchronisation with e-commerce platforms (WooCommerce, Shopify, Amazon), and returns management. Connection to payment terminals (Sumup, Stripe, Six) is native in Odoo.
Restaurants and Hospitality
Restaurants, hotels, caterers and hospitality establishments use Odoo for managing reservations, the till, group and seminar invoicing, and food stock control. The link between the Restaurant module and accounting eliminates double entry and cash register errors.
Real Estate and Property Management
Real estate agencies, property managers and developers use Odoo for managing their mandates, fee invoicing, lease tracking and service charges. Analytical accounting by property or real estate programme is particularly valued for managing asset profitability.
Healthcare and Medical Practices
Medical practices, physiotherapy practices, wellness centres and Geneva healthcare providers use Odoo for consultation invoicing (according to TARMED or free rates), appointment management, insurer reimbursement tracking and analytical accounting by practitioner. Patient data confidentiality is managed with the utmost care.
Associations and Foundations (NGOs)
Geneva is home to hundreds of associations and foundations — humanitarian, cultural, sporting, professional. These organisations have specific needs: accounting by fund or by project, subsidy and donation tracking, membership management, funder reporting. Odoo enables total financial transparency, as required by founders and supervisory authorities.
Import/Export and International Trade
Geneva's trading and commodity companies — in raw materials, food products, textiles or technology — benefit from Odoo's Purchasing/Stock/Sales module to manage their global goods flows: multi-currency purchase orders, incoterm tracking, customs management, FIFO or AVCO stock valuation, and reconciliation of positions with accounting.
Our Local Presence in Geneva
AX-Fiduciaire has been established in Geneva since its creation. Our offices are in the heart of the city, accessible by public transport (TPG trams and buses).
