The bexio timeline

The success story continues: after it was announced in March 2023 that 60,000 self-employed people, small businesses and start-ups rely on the Swiss business software, the growth continued. Just eight months later, 70,000 paying customers were reached. In addition, there are around 6,500 fiduciary partners.

Change in the management team at bexio: Didier Müller becomes the new CFO. He joins the business software provider with over 65,000 customers after around three years at ifolor.

Didier Müller (49) will take over the position of CFO (Chief Financial Officer) at bexio on November 1, 2023, succeeding Christopher Jarke. Müller previously spent around three years as CFO of Ifolor AG and seven years as CFO of a financial services provider.

Just last year, SaaS company bexio expanded its position as one of the market leaders in business software by reaching 50,000 customers. Just eight months later, another milestone has been reached: 60,000 self-employed people, small businesses and startups rely on the Swiss business software. In addition, there are around 1,300 certified fiduciary partners.

Modernizing the software is one of the top priorities. Thus, numerous optimizations have been advanced and implemented within the last few months. This is already paying off: «Our customers see the progress and know that we are working hard to make our business software a little better for our customers every day,» says bexio CEO Markus Naef.

Good news for all bexio customers and those who want to become one: We have optimized the contact list! Don't worry, it still does what it should after the technological modernization: it displays an overview of your contacts and helps you manage them.

However, we have taken the opportunity to make improvements to make your work even easier and more intuitive: now customize your contact list view according to your own needs. All column settings are saved individually for each user and are preserved when you open the contact list again.

Over 50,000 self-employed people, small businesses and startups rely on the Swiss business software bexio. In addition to the 50,000 paying customers, there are over 1,000 certified fiduciary partners.

«The healthy growth of our customer base reflects the still high demand for a web-based cloud solution that allows people to work independently,» said bexio CEO Markus Naef. In recent years, the relationship to work has often changed - the need to work flexibly has continued to grow. Naef confirms: «We clearly feel this demand and therefore we keep working on making our business software even better and more comprehensive for our customers.»
