Glad to have you here, @Anonymous.

 

Having a correct year-end is important for keeping an accurate reports and business snapshot. I'd be delighted to make sure you're able to update the accounting period of your company file in QuickBooks.

 

To eliminate any confusion on what accounting period you're using, the calendar year will specifically state the beginning and end dates covered by the report or financial statement you generate. QuickBooks Desktop uses the calendar year beginning in January as the default fiscal year or accounting period for your records unless you enter a different starting month. Just make sure to select January as your starting month for the reporting schedule and December 31 as the last day of reporting.

 

Here's how you can update your QuickBooks reporting information:

  1. Go to Company.
  2. Select My Company.
  3. Click the Pencil icon.
  4. Choose Reporting Information.
  5. Select the first month for your Calendar year (January).

Once completed, you can run reports to show data for Calendar year (from January1 - to December 31).

 

Let me know how it works on your end. I'm always here to help you customize the year-end reporting calendar in your account.
