Year End Close
You can close the year for a contact in the current fiscal year when the contact has accounts with activity and/or adjustments.
- With a project open, click the Settings tab.
- Select a period in the next fiscal year in the Current Period field to open the Year End Close screen.
- Choose to zero out existing account balances, or distribute net income to one or more equity accounts.
- Click the Close Year button to zero out account balances for income and expense accounts and carry over balances for all other accounts.
note
- You can click the Edit Contact link in the Settings tab, or choose Setup > Clients > Periods tab to advance the period to the next fiscal year and open the Year End Close screen.
- You can add equity accounts on the fly from this screen.
- If you choose to open the contact in the previous fiscal year to make changes, and then return to the next fiscal year, you'll need to perform the Year-End Close process again.
- If the Adjusted Year To Date balance is out of balance for the year being closed, we show a message letting you know this has to be corrected before Year-End Close can proceed.
- If there are accounts that are not grouped to an Account Classification grouping code/subcode, we now show a message letting you know this has to be corrected before Year-End Close can proceed.
