Differences in numbers on accountants copy and desktop copy

I sent our accountant a copy of the company file via email so he could begin working on the taxes. He asked why there is a difference in the amount in one G/L item when he checks it under accrual and cash basis on the trial balance and on the balance sheet. When I pull up the identical reports on my desktop, there is no difference. We have had this happen with another company file as well, but have not been able to find out why this is happening. Has anyone had this happen and if so, why is it occurring and how do we fix it? Thanks!

Hi there, @invoicesdmc.

You'll want to ensure the dividing date of your accountant's copy is the same in your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT). The Accountant's copy uses the dividing date to define the fiscal period your accountant can work on.

Here's an article that provides detailed information about the Accountant's Copy workflow: Use the Accountant's Copy.

In case you have any other questions or concerns, you're always welcome to post here. I'm more than happy to help. Take care!
