- Perform your EOM procedures for debtors and creditors
- StockTake
- Print your eoy reports

HELP IS AVAILABLE
It is worthwhile booking an hour or so with us to review your accounts. You perform end of year once a year where as we perform them many times and know exactly what to look for to:
- Improve your reports
- Reduce your tax (in some cases)
- Simplify your return for your accountant which saves you money with your accountant
- Receive reports that you may not actually produce yourself but which are valuable in understanding your business performance
To book simply email us at 'support@soeasy.co.nz' and ask for our EOY Assistance
HOW TO PERFORM THE EOY
1: Reorganise your files
We may have already reorganised your files so just check the date of last reorganisation at the Front Company Menu
If we haven't, at the 'Front Company Menu' select the Tab 'Speed Files'
The select 'Run Speed Files'
If you have multiple organisations you can reorganise all at the same time:
2: Check for Incorrect GST Entries
3: Test Data
Go to Cash Book > Setup
Run the three tests
NOTE:
If any of the tests fail, please let support@soeasy.co.nz know and they will assist.
Reconcile your Bank Accounts with your Bank Statement by going into Cash Book >
Select each bank account and compare the closing balance with the bank's statement.
Note: If it doesn't reconcile the easiest way to resolve this is to:
a) Go back a month and compare the bank's closing statement balance with SoEasy's until you find the month where everything balances
b) Then either print off the statements and compare values or the faster method is to use the 'Import Wizard' and use the 'Recon Wizard'
5: EOM Procedures
Go to Platform and process the End of Month procedures for both Debtors and Creditors
6: Stock Take
If you have stock you will need to produce a stock take to value your stock.
Choose a stock take method and process
When complete, export your stock take to a spreadsheet and save it. Your accountant only requires the value of your stock.
7: Produce Reports
To produce the reports, select the "End of Year is XXX days overdue' message at the Cash Book Main Menu
Select 'Reporting' and 'Produce Report'
8: Rollover Your Accounts
Go to the Cash Book > NEW EOY
The only functions that will work for you will be the 'Rollover' tab.
IMPORTANT!
At the end of this procedure, Exit SoEasy (if it didn't already do that) and reorganise your files.
Don't Worry
You can always review your previous years accounts.
Go to The Front Company Menu and select 'Previous Years'
