Handing everything to the accountant in one file
Premium
This is the feature rarely found in an app of this kind, and it replaces a job many people do by hand every month: gathering receipts, invoices and statements for the accountant. Pick the period and the accounts and the app builds one ZIP with everything.
Generating the package
- Settings › For accountant › Proof package. The For accountant section is there in the Both and Business only modes, and in Personal only while there is professional history.
- Choose the period and the accounts — the line says what goes in ("All accounts" or "3 of 8 accounts") and opens the list on tap.
- Choose how each document should look (below), and tap Generate package. The ZIP goes out through the phone's share sheet — to attach to an email or send as a message.
What is inside
- One PDF per movement, in a folder per account. A movement without an attachment goes in only with Include transactions without attachment on, as a page with its details alone.
- _invoices — the documents of the period that have a file attached (invoices, credit notes, receipts, contracts), whatever accounts were chosen, while Include invoices and statement documents is on. With Professional only on, only the business's documents go in (from version 1.7.4; before, the folder took both sides).
- entity-statements — one spreadsheet (XLSX) per customer or supplier with movements or documents in the period: its current account.
- account-ledgers — one spreadsheet (XLSX) per account with movements in the period, among the accounts chosen. From version 1.7.6 a ledger counts the account's opening balance only from its date — the one typed in or, without one, the day the account was created, or its first movement if that is earlier: a period that contains that day shows the opening balance as a line of its own on that day, a period that ends before it does not count it, and an account whose only line in the period is the opening balance still gets its ledger.
In the spreadsheets, dates and amounts are real dates and amounts, so the accountant sorts and sums without retyping. With Professional only on, the PDFs, the spreadsheets and the _invoices folder keep to the business side. The folder names follow the app's language, and from version 1.7.4 the ZIP is named with the date and time it was made. From version 1.7.8 the wallet goes by its name in the app's language — Wallet, in English — everywhere in the package: its folder of PDFs, its ledger in account-ledgers, the Account column of the spreadsheets, the lines of your business's statement and the strip on top of each movement's document; before, the package wrote __wallet__.
From version 1.7.2, the statement of your business — the entity in My business — also lists the movements recorded through an account of the other side with the Track on the entity statement (loan) box ticked (a business expense paid from a personal account, for example), with the document or the category, the supplier or client, and the account the money went through; see lending money and keeping the real category.
Two document styles
- With movement details — each document with a strip on top: date, account, category, amount, note. Readable without the spreadsheet beside it.
- The document only — the file exactly as scanned, nothing added.
The choice is saved, like Professional only, Include transactions without attachment and Include invoices and statement documents. Nothing to reset each month; only the period and the accounts are chosen each time (the screen opens on This Month, with all the accounts).
Honest about what is missing
If a document could not be fetched — no connection, or a file that lives on another of your phones and has not reached the cloud yet — the package says how many, and what to do, rather than delivering a green message with a hole in it.
Questions
- What does the accountant receive?
- One ZIP: a PDF per movement sorted in a folder per account; the documents of the period that have a file attached, in the _invoices folder; and the spreadsheets — one per customer or supplier, in entity-statements, and one per account, in account-ledgers — with dates and amounts as real dates and amounts.
- Only the business side?
- That is a saved choice — Professional only — along with Include transactions without attachment and Include invoices and statement documents. Set once, kept. Professional only keeps the personal side out of the PDFs, the spreadsheets and, from version 1.7.4, the _invoices folder too. To leave that folder out altogether, switch Include invoices and statement documents off.
- A movement has its receipt on my other phone — does it go in?
- With cloud sync on, the file is fetched; if it cannot be (no connection, or the other phone has not sent it yet), the package says how many documents it could not include, instead of quietly leaving them out.
