Hand your books to your accountant
At year-end, package everything your accountant needs in one file:
- Go to Ledger › Reports and open the Year-End Pack tab.
- Set the Fiscal year-end date (it defaults to last December 31).
- Click Download handover pack (.zip).
The ZIP holds the trial balance, general-ledger detail, profit & loss, balance sheet, GST/HST worksheets, and reconciliations (all as CSVs) plus every bill and invoice PDF for the year and a cover sheet. It's built to be read by a person, so it works no matter what software your accountant uses.
When they send back adjusting entries, the Upload adjusting entries panel on the same tab brings them in. This is a handover, not a filing: your accountant still prepares and files the return.
Good to know: The pack is a ZIP of accountant-readable CSVs and your source PDFs for one
fiscal year: it is not a Xero or QuickBooks import file, and it doesn't file
anything. Set the exact fiscal year-end date; the window is the year ending on
that date.
