Odoo 18: what's new for SME accounting in Geneva and French-speaking Switzerland

Odoo 18, available since late September 2025, marks a pivotal change for the digitalization of Geneva-based SMEs and the self-employed. The platform strengthens its Swiss banking integrations, introduces new Swissdec (ELM 5.0) functionalities, and enhances Swiss payroll management while adapting to LPP, LAA, and AC requirements. Companies benefit from greater automation of accounting entries (improved document recognition) and a customizable dashboard synchronized with Swiss GAAP FER standards. Mobility takes a leap forward: secure access to accounting, payroll, and legal document modules in real time. For fiduciaries active in Geneva, Odoo 18 also improves tracking of 2025 VAT obligations, preparation of general meeting minutes, and governance task monitoring. Finally, the Odoo Connect integration makes it possible to connect HR tools (Swissdec, salary certificate management, LPP/LAA contributions) and multi-company management. This new version thus addresses the compliance, productivity, and real-time management needs of Swiss companies. Need to migrate?
