Is it possible to change the year end in Easy Acct?  Company switched from fiscal year end to calendar year end.

It is possible to go into the company information and change the year end dates manually. (it will warn you on a pop-up not to change the dates manually, but you can still do it)  That said, any time we have a change like this we generally copy the company into a new file and then make the change there, just so if something gets screwed up in the change you always have the old file to fall back on.

Thanks.  I did do that, but when changing the date manually it copied transactions from the short period (Oct-Dec 2021) and put them in Oct-Dec 2022. Wasn't sure what else it would have changed in the system or if there was another way to close the GL at a specified date.

That's strange, I've never seen it do that before.  Did you change the year end to 12/31/21? We usually change it to the prior year (12/31/20) ten when you go to enter transactions for Jan 22 it should close out the year and post those automatically.
