Hi,

In order to achieve your requirement you have to create a trigger on your contact object that will fire each time when your contact is inserted and updated.
I have written a trigger as per your requirement.
Please find the code below : 
trigger updateCheckboxesOnAccount on Contact(after insert, after update){
	Set<id> accIds = new Set<Id>();
	for(Contact con : trigger.new){
		if(con.AccountId != null){
			accIds.add(con.AccountId);
		}
	}
	
	Map<Id,Account> mapOfAccounts = new Map<Id,Account>([Select checkBox1__c,checkBox2__c,checkBox3__c,checkBox4__c,checkBox5__c from Account where id IN : accIds]);
	
	for(Contact con : trigger.new){
		if(mapOfAccounts.containsKey(con.AccountId)){
			mapOfAccounts.get(con.AccountId).checkBox1__c = con.checkBox1__c;
			mapOfAccounts.get(con.AccountId).checkBox2__c = con.checkBox2__c;
			mapOfAccounts.get(con.AccountId).checkBox3__c = con.checkBox3__c;
			mapOfAccounts.get(con.AccountId).checkBox4__c = con.checkBox4__c;
			mapOfAccounts.get(con.AccountId).checkBox5__c = con.checkBox5__c;
		}
	}
	
	update mapOfAccounts.values();
}
//Please replace following variables with their API names :
//1. checkBox1__c with checkbox API name in contact and Account
//2. checkBox2__c with checkbox API name in contact and Account
//3. checkBox3__c with checkbox API name in contact and Account
//4. checkBox4__c with checkbox API name in contact and Account
//5. checkBox5__c with checkbox API name in contact and Account

Please let me know if you have any issue with the above trigger code or if you need any further help on this.

Thanks,
Abhishek Bansal.

Your requirement is not clear. Elaborate it

Hi, you don't need apex for this, you can use Process Builder to do cross object field updates from Contact to Account.
Even if updating your Contacts is done through Visualforce, the insert/update transaction will still trigger Process Builder flows.
