NUMARICS: Artificial Intelligence Does Accounting Now
Swiss fin-tech startup Numarics offers an integrated business solution that allows Swiss entrepreneurs to navigate their bookkeeping from their mobile phones. Artificial intelligence replaces an accountant. Why is this necessary? Or rather – why hasn’t this come to market much sooner?
“We don’t need another accounting software. We need a solution,” said digital expert Kristian Kabashi when he was approached by certified public auditor, accounting expert and financial market specialist Dominique Rey with a request to work together on the digitization of accounting services.
Rey: “I have examined companies where an independent audit of the balance sheet and income statement was required. In practice, this means that I had a lot to do with internal and external accountants to verify whether there were any material misstatements in the annual financial statements. In this activity, I quickly detect if the accounting is managed properly. I am always surprised at how much administrative work steps the accountants had to perform and that very few work steps were automated – that leaves much room for mistakes.”
Rey reports strong quality differences in the work of accountants, an unprotected title in Switzerland. Poorly or untimely fiduciary work carries financial risks and can be costly for entrepreneurs. Accountants, on the other hand, are tired of running after and sorting missing paperwork – a job that has not changed since the dawn of accounting.
Fun Fact: Bookkeeping has existed since 3000 BC in ancient Egypt – with debits and credits on papyrus scrolls.
Kabashi: “Since then, only the quality of the paper seems to have changed. Now, physical paperwork is also transferred to Excel spreadsheets or accounting software in a highly time-consuming process. Receipts are glued on paper to keep them sorted and together. This discipline never made it to the Olympics, so it’s time to challenge that.”
Kabashi transforms business processes with a strong philosophy where people are exclusively creative thinkers and strategists. Repetitive work is performed through advanced technologies.
Kabashi: “Who likes filling out forms or taking care of all the paperwork? How many people would have already made their dream of self-employment reality if they didn’t have such great respect for bureaucracy?”
Fintech startup Numarics is designed to take that fear away. The app sends push notifications when a receipt has not been scanned. Algorithms detect whether it is a receipt, a contract or an invoice. Numarics handles communication with government agencies and enables invoices to be sent to clients. It becomes virtually impossible to lose track of anything.
Volker Doberanzke became involved in the development and set-up of Numarics. The professor of finance can demonstrate an international management career and today trains students at an international university. The co-founder describes Numarics as follows: “It is a system that integrates all business processes and generates data at the end. These serve as the basis for day-to day management and are used to make important decisions. In addition, the data forms the basis for required financial reports for both government agencies and stakeholders.
“The flying blind is over,” says Kabashi, who as an entrepreneur himself has no clear overview of the annual profit taxes that will be coming up for his business – a good tax consultancy is rare. Numarics does the math in its on-target forecasts, and users have a clear forecast in their pocket.
The entire Numarics team works on the “ease of mind” – no paperwork, no worries with the authorities or the accountant, and even procrastination hurdles of numerous startups are at the forefront for the solution. Says Rey, “It’s an integrated process, and we sell peace of mind by ensuring the entrepreneur has complete oversight of what the Numarics engine is doing for them.”
Numarics as a business solution for Switzerland comes with great future visions for interfaces that can be connected for entrepreneurs. For example, Numarics can already settle cryptocurrencies today.
NUMARICS: Switzerland’s First Fully Digitalised Startup & SME Accountant. #Fintech #NUMARICS
Swiss fintech start-up Numarics enables startups, SMEs and freelancers to do their accounting effortlessly and 100% digitally. With this strong business model, the founding team confirms the innovative strength of Switzerland as a business location.
Accounting, payroll, tax returns, invoicing, document management and much more are now streamlined via the Numarics ecosystem on the web or via app. Numarics has made the onboarding process incredibly simple – start-ups and SMEs can be activated on the platform in just a few minutes. Instantly, all the critical, administrative activities that are crucial to running a successful SME can be done in a digital and streamlined way via the Numarics app.
For entrepreneurs who want to organise their accounting seamlessly, independently and mobile.
The founders of Numarics believe that focusing on the core business leads to success – entrepreneurs focus on their key business and Numarics takes over administration and fiduciary services via the digital ecosystem.
Numarics was developed by experts from the fields of accounting, digitalisation, artificial intelligence and auditing. The founders have developed a digital and highly innovative ecosystem that is specifically tailored to the needs of entrepreneurs. With a consistent mobile-first approach, Numarics is Switzerland’s first accounting solution for startups and SMEs that can be completely controlled via a mobile app.
“Switzerland is a safe haven for businesses, and start up hubs like in Zurich are booming. It is simply outdated to still do your business administration with expensive accounting software and manually operating accounting providers. Numarics is the first digital accountant on the smartphone, providing an innovative ecosystem for Swiss startups,“ says Dominique Rey, Swiss Certified Public Accountant and CEO & Co-Founder at Numarics.
Users focus on their business – Numarics does the rest.
Co-founder Kristian Kabashi is an expert in the digitisation of business processes and is instrumental in digitising competent and reliable fiduciary services at Numarics. The digital expert believes that technology should be used to dedicate oneself to creativity by handling repetitive, administrative tasks technologically. In the process of developing Numarics, he has focused on the experience: “The experience of accounting up to now has been the same as a visit to the dentist. You know you have to do it, but it’s just no fun,” Kabashi says, adding, “With Numarics, running a business becomes the easiest thing in the world. Our users do their business, we do the rest.”
Numarics works and learns via intelligent algorithms. Each booking process is broken down from one minute to a few seconds. Documents are scanned with the mobile phone and categorised by setting filters. The app then learns from recurring expenses and income and consequently automates itself more and more, becoming faster and faster.
The founders are committed to creating a digital SME solution that is easy to use and absolutely transparent in terms of costs. Numarics is available for startups from only CHF 149 /month – the package includes all fiduciary services and financial administration for startups and SMEs: document management, accounting, financial statements, tax returns, VAT and payroll. Tax advice is provided via push notifications in the app. In the affiliated Numarics Academy, top experts such as Numarics Board Chairman and Professor for Finance Volker Doberanzke teach business management in free webinars.
If users need specific information, entrepreneurs can book consultations with certified experts at Numarics at the click of a button. Various banking institutions can be connected to the Numarics ecosystem to provide the user with a fully integrated financial experience.
“Expat founders regularly have different needs. They only understand Swiss regulations and tax requirements to a limited extent – also because there are many terms that translate differently. For these entrepreneurs, we want to make Switzerland more open as a start-up country,“ says Rey.
