Financial leadership that moves your company forward
Professional financial leadership aligned with your goals is essential for sustainable growth. The role of the CFO is central: it creates transparency, manages risks and provides the foundation for sound strategic decisions.
We take on this role either on a temporary basis as an Interim CFO – for example during vacancies, growth phases or special situations – or on a long-term basis as an external CFO within a structured CFO mandate.
Our work goes far beyond basic number-crunching.
We oversee accounting and controlling, prepare financial statements and management reports, monitor liquidity and financial planning, and ensure that your financial processes run reliably and in a structured manner. If required, we also accompany you to executive meetings, investor discussions or bank negotiations.
An external or interim CFO provides an independent, objective outside perspective, free from internal interests.
You gain time, financial security and an experienced sparring partner who thinks entrepreneurially and takes responsibility.

More than numbers: the Smart-Profit System for active financial leadership
Traditional accounting shows what has already happened.
The Smart-Profit System enables forward-looking financial control, providing structured management of profit, taxes, VAT and liquidity.
As part of our role as an Interim or external CFO, we integrate a practical cash flow management system that allows you to steer your business financially – without any accounting background.
Profit, taxes, owner compensation and reserves are planned from the outset, not calculated retrospectively.
And this is how it works
Instead of the traditional calculation
Income – expenses = profit,
the Smart-Profit System follows a CFO-driven control approach:
Each incoming payment is immediately allocated according to fixed percentages to separate accounts –
for profit, taxes, VAT, owner compensation and operating expenses.
This turns profit into a real, protected financial result, not just a figure on paper.
- Financial clarity regarding profit, taxes, and available funds
- Profit secured from the start, not only at year-end
- Better cost control through clear budget limits
- Measurable results directly in the bank account
- Long-term financial stability without surprises
Companies that work with the Smart Profit System report significantly more control and an average of 21% higher profit.

Questions about external CFO mandates? ONE! Treuhand provides answers.
So that you know exactly what to expect, we have collected the most important questions about CFO mandates for you — based on the concerns we hear daily from companies in Zurich and throughout Switzerland
When is an external CFO needed?
With an external CFO, a company’s employees can fully focus on their core tasks. An international company can benefit from an external CFO on site through their knowledge of local conditions and circumstances.What tasks does an external CFO take on?
What tasks does an external CFO take on?
An external CFO takes on tasks in the areas of accounting and controlling. They enable an objective view of the company and assume financial leadership of the business.
In doing so, they act as an advisor and supervisor of company activities and set the strategic direction to lead the company to financial success.
Financial management as an external CFO on a mandate basis includes, among others, the following tasks:
- Budgeting, reporting, and controlling (e.g. budget planning, financial planning, liquidity planning, consolidation)
- Financial reporting in accordance with OR, Swiss GAAP FER, or IAS/IFRS
- Annual financial statements and interim financial statements
Is an external finance manager also suitable for a Swiss SME?
An external finance manager can be the perfect solution for an SME as well as for a large corporation or a non-profit organization.
Depending on the individual needs and requirements of the client, the external finance manager dedicates themselves to the company’s financial challenges and tasks either full-time or on an hourly basis.
The greatest advantages of an external finance manager lie in professionalism and independence.
What advantages does an external CFO offer me?
Engaging an external CFO for a company has many advantages:
- High productivity with a short onboarding period
- Compensation for personnel bottlenecks
- Cost savings
- Professionalism through external know-how
- Less time-consuming recruiting
First and foremost, trust is important. The only significant disadvantage is that you entrust your finances to a third party, and that requires courage.
Nevertheless, there are good reasons why the most successful companies do exactly that. Freedom, a broader perspective, and (at least with us) the good feeling that someone is taking care solely of the company’s financial success.
What is the difference between accounting and bookkeeping?
Bookkeeping refers to the orderly recording of business transactions on the basis of existing documents. Accounting is the department of the company that documents and evaluates these business transactions recorded chronologically and without gaps as part of bookkeeping.
Ready for financial clarity and real relief?
Start with a non-binding initial consultation and get to know ONE! Treuhand personally. We show you how an external CFO strengthens your financial management, reduces risks, and gives you more time for what matters most.
- More time thanks to clear structures and efficient processes
- More security through professional financial management and independent assessments

- More stability through active liquidity and risk management
- More closeness through a personal contact person instead of a hotline
