Software for accounting firms, fiduciaries and advisory practices in Morocco

What month-end looks like in a Moroccan fiduciary

For most fiduciaries, month-end is a race. Clients hand over invoices in bulk, sometimes as phone photos, sometimes in an envelope. Bank statements arrive as PDFs that someone retypes line by line. Every client file lives in a different spreadsheet, and only the staff member in charge knows where the VAT return stands.

Filing deadlines hit every client at the same time, missing documents have to be chased, and a single keying error can distort a VAT credit. Advisory firms face the same pressure in another form: billing engagements, chasing unpaid fees and keeping an eye on their own cash.

• Late documents retyped by hand
• Bank statements ticked off manually
• Client files scattered across spreadsheets and laptops
• VAT preparation squeezed into a few days
• No clear record of who changed what

One workspace, many isolated client companies

The multi-company module creates one company per client. Each keeps its own data, its own document numbering and its own VAT settings, and a company switcher moves you from file to file without logging out. Isolation is enforced on the server, so one client's data never mixes with another's.

Permissions are role-based: owner, administrator, accountant, sales or custom roles. The staff member on a file gets the accountant role, and the audit log records every action with who did it and when. When a partner takes over a file, the history is right there.

CGNC bookkeeping without retyping

When the client issues invoices or records purchases and payroll in SOGESTIO, entries are posted automatically to the Moroccan chart of accounts (CGNC). The firm stops keying and starts reviewing, correcting and matching. Advanced mode gives journals, general ledger, trial balance and account matching; the client can stay in simple mode, free of accounting jargon.

Bank statements import in MT940 or CSV and are reconciled inside the software. At year-end, the financial statements (balance sheet, CPC income statement and ESG) are produced from the entries, along with a preparatory XML for the tax return package that must be transferred into the official format.

• Automatic entries for every invoice, payment, purchase and payslip
• Journals, general ledger, trial balance and matching
• MT940 and CSV statement import with bank reconciliation
• Balance sheet, CPC and ESG from the books
• Supporting documents attached to invoices and expenses

VAT: preparing the return and the deductions statement

For each client company you set the rates, prefilled at 20%, 14%, 10%, 7% and exempt (rates change with each Finance Act), and the regime: cash basis, the default rule, or accrual basis. SOGESTIO computes output VAT, input VAT and the credit carried forward.

The deductions statement exports as EDI XML for SIMPL-TVA, the DGI portal. Filing remains with the firm or the company after review: SOGESTIO prepares and automates, it does not replace professional judgment. On the payroll side, a preparatory DAMANCOM file and a preparatory 9421 statement (XML to transfer into SIMPL-IR) cover the other recurring filings.

A typical month on one client file

Take a client SARL invoicing in SOGESTIO. It issues an invoice for 10,000 DH excl. VAT at 20%: the software computes 2,000 DH of VAT, 12,000 DH including VAT, and posts the entry. It records a supplier invoice of 3,000 DH excl. VAT with 600 DH of deductible VAT. The firm's accountant imports the month's MT940 statement, reconciles both movements, matches the customer account and confirms that VAT due for the month is 1,400 DH before preparing the SIMPL-TVA export.

No intermediate spreadsheet, no retyping: the firm's time moves from ticking to reviewing and advising.

Which plan fits an accounting firm?

There are two set-ups. If the firm keeps its clients' books itself, the Groupe plan fits: 990 DH excl. VAT/month or 9,900 DH/year, three companies included, then 249 DH/month per extra company, up to 30 users, multi-company included. With five client files, the monthly bill comes to 1,488 DH excl. VAT.

If each client subscribes on its own, the Pro plan (449 DH/month excl. VAT) includes accounting, banking and payroll, and the client invites the firm with the accountant role. For firms that want all data on their own premises, the On-premise edition installs on their server, runs without internet access and is licensed by number of companies and users, on quotation.
