What does clean nursing bookkeeping cost? Trustee, software and the bridge compared
The honest answer: it depends on how you do the work. The same task — booking nursing invoices cleanly and reconciling them with the bank — costs most as manual trustee work, least as software alone (which doesn't fully solve the nursing problem), and a predictable subscription with bexio plus CuraSovo, the bridge from your nursing software into bookkeeping. Often the point isn't the price, but what it costs to do nothing.
Three ways, one task
CuraSovo doesn't replace your bookkeeping — it's the bridge that brings your nursing invoices into bexio. So we don't compare tool against tool, but three ways to do the same task: (1) everything via the trustee, (2) just accounting software and the rest by hand, (3) bexio plus CuraSovo as the bridge that automates the nursing-specific assignment.
The cost comparison at a glance
Way A — trustee/manual: about CHF 120–200 per hour, ongoing; every service statement by hand. Expensive, slow, no live view of open items. Way B — software alone (bexio and alternatives, subscription by plan): doesn't solve the nursing-specific XML → bexio → bank assignment; you still do it yourself or pay someone. Way C — bexio + CuraSovo (from CHF 29/49/79 per month + CHF 199 one-off, bexio subscription separate): automates that assignment and reconciliation → complete bookkeeping, live status of open items.
The real cost question — what it costs NOT to have it
The biggest item is on no price list: the insurer invoice that went unpaid unnoticed. Without reconciliation you don't see which insurer currently owes you money — that's lost liquidity, not a software price. Add the trustee hours for pure manual work that a subscription replaces. So compare not only the subscription price, but «what's left lying around».
Which way suits whom
With only a few patients a month, a small plan and little trustee support often does the job. In full independent practice, the bridge saves the most time and gives the overview manual work can't. The trustee stays useful for closing and taxes — just not for monthly data entry.

What is the biggest hidden cost?
The insurer invoice left unpaid unnoticed. Without reconciliation you can't see which insurer owes you money — that's lost liquidity.
