After all, only if all costs are correctly reported and properly documented can they be claimed for tax purposes. Structured accounting creates transparency and can make a concrete contribution to optimizing the tax burden.    <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Accounting for an apartment building is neither simple nor quick. Income and expenses must be correctly allocated, maintenance costs must be clearly shown and all receipts must be fully documented. If you do this yourself, you invest a lot of time &#8211; and still risk confusion or missing out on tax deductions.    <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:var(--wp--preset--spacing--medium)\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Management accounting is running at full speed<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is precisely why Ginesta Bewirtschaftung&#8217;s bookkeeping is running at full speed these weeks. Our goal is clear: our owners receive their statements on time by the end of February at the latest, professionally prepared, detailed and accurate, including all enclosures. In such a way that the documents can be used directly for the tax return, without queries from the tax office or tedious subsequent submission of documents. This not only makes work easier for the owner, but also for the trustee.     <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:var(--wp--preset--spacing--medium)\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Owner portal as an efficient basis in cooperation with your fiduciary dealer  <\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Ginesta, we go one step further. You decide whether you also want to grant your trustee direct access to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ginesta.ch\/en\/property-management\/letting-real-estate-2\/\">owner portal<\/a>. All documents are available there centrally, clearly arranged and accessible at any time.   This saves time, reduces the coordination effort and ensures a consistent, professional process that is completely digital.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So why should private owners still do this administrative work themselves is a legitimate question. The added value of a professional solution is clearly noticeable. Because those who hand over this responsibility gain time, an overview and security.    <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>&#8220;A well-prepared tax return doesn&#8217;t start in February, but with management that thinks along with you throughout the year.&#8221;<\/p><cite>Ralph Geigle<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"has-gray-15-background-color has-background wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Would you also like to organize your management more easily and efficiently in the future?
