How do you customize budget years as our budget year is August 1-July 31?

Glad to see you here in the Community space, albany. I'm here to ensure you can customize and create a budget year for August 1 to July 31.

 

First, you'll need to change the beginning of your fiscal year in QuickBooks to August. Here's how:

 

  1. Click the Gear icon and select Accounts and settings.

Then, you can now create a budget for August 2023 to July 2024 by following the steps below:

 

  1. Go to Budgets and click the green Create budget button.
