For fiduciary and accounting firms

Household mandates that never pay off? That is what Clino is for.

A cleaner working four hours a week triggers almost the same duties as a small business. At a fiduciary hourly rate, nobody can pay for that. Clino is built for exactly these cases: CHF 19.90 per month, and the client relationship stays with you.

The arithmetic problem

Why the smallest mandate pays the least

The workload of a household employment barely depends on the hours. Four hours a week trigger the same duties as forty.

Duties like a business

Registration with the compensation office, accident insurance, BVG and withholding tax depending on the wage, monthly payslips, annual declaration and salary certificate. Everything a company has, without a company's volume.

Your hourly rate does not fit the case

A few hours of fiduciary work per year quickly cost more than the household wants to spend on the entire employment. That leaves: decline, subsidise it, or recommend a solution that fits the case.

Letting it slide is not an option

Contributions are due from the first franc of wage. A mandate that quietly employs an unregistered household helper is not a good position for the advising professional either.

How the handover works

Three steps, none of which commits you to anything.

Frequent questions from fiduciary firms

Can I keep charging for the setup as a service?

Yes. What you offer and invoice your client remains entirely your business. Some firms set up the employment together with the client and charge a flat fee; the client then continues the ongoing administration themselves with Clino.

Does Clino file the registration itself?

No, and we say so openly everywhere: Clino prepares the registration, the employer signs and submits it. There is no power of attorney. For you that means: your client keeps control, and nobody acts in their name.

What about cases above the BVG entry threshold or in the ordinary procedure?

Clino calculates these cases too and shows the appropriate registration route. For special cases such as cross-border commuters with special agreements, write to us briefly: we will tell you honestly whether Clino fits or whether you are better off running the case yourself.

Why should I refer instead of doing the payroll myself?

You do not have to. But when the mandate is too small to run at cost, a referral beats a turned-away client. They stay with you for everything that does pay.

Is there a portal where I can see all my households?

No. Each household runs its own account and remains the employer. You need no login and sign nothing with us. If you look after many households and would like an overview, write to salvador@clino.ch: whether a client overview gets built depends on how many firms ask for it.

Is there a contact person for fiduciary firms?

Yes. Write to salvador@clino.ch with the keyword «Treuhand». You will get an answer from the founder within 24 hours on business days.
