Financial Years & Year-End Closing

Close the year, carry profit forward and lock the past.

Financial Years & Year-End Closing: Close the year, carry profit forward and lock the past.

Your books now understand your financial year, whether it starts in April, January or any other month. At year end, close the year in one step: profit or loss moves into retained earnings and the period is locked so figures cannot drift.

What you can do

Reports follow your year

Profit & Loss defaults to your current financial year, and every accounting report has a financial-year selector.

One-step closing

Closing posts a single journal that zeroes income and expenses and moves the result to retained earnings.

Period lock

Vouchers, invoices and purchases dated in a closed year cannot be added, changed or deleted.

Reopen the latest year

Made a mistake? An admin can reopen the most recently closed year, which removes the closing entry.

Also included

  • Years must be closed in order
  • Closed years still report their profit
  • Payments against older invoices are still allowed
  • Only admins can close or reopen a year

Frequently asked questions

My financial year starts in January. Is that supported?

Yes. The year start is set per company, and every report and the year-end closing use it.

Can I still record a payment for an invoice from a closed year?

Yes. Receipts are dated when the money arrives; only changes to what was billed in the closed year are blocked.
