How to set up financial statements

The financial statement design can be copied from an existing company or sample company using the Company Wizard. Note that if you're using the Company Wizard, the companies should have the same Chart of Accounts. Alternatively, the statements can be created from scratch using the Financial Statement Templates, as described below. Afterwards, you can make customizations using the Custom Statements feature.

Follow these steps to set up the Balance Sheet, Income Statement and Statement of Cash Flows to print using the statement templates:

  1. Go to Write-Up, Update Company Files, Financial Statements and select Statement Templates.
  2. Select the Type of Financial Statements.
  3. Enter a Statement Message Line to print at the bottom of each page on the financial statements.
  4. Select a Font Name and Font Size.
  5. Each financial statement has its own tab to specify account ranges.  It is recommended not to have any gaps from one section to the next, even if that involves using non-existent accounts as the beginning and ending accounts.  For example, the Beginning Account number for Fixed Assets (i.e. 1500) should be one number higher than the Ending Account number for Current Assets (i.e. 1499).
    1. Enter the following on the Balance Sheet tab:
      • Statement Title.
        • For example, "Balance Sheet."
      • Beginning and Ending Account ranges for each section:
        • Current Assets
        • Fixed Assets
        • Other Assets
        • Current Liabilities
        • Long Term Liabilities
        • Equity
    2. Enter the following on the Income Statement tab:
      • Statement Title
        • For example, "Income Statement."
      • Beginning and Ending Account ranges for each section:
        • Revenue
        • Cost of Sales
        • Operating Expenses
        • Other Income/Expense
    3. Entering the follow on the Cash Flow tab:
      • Statement Title
        • For example, "Statement of Cash Flows."
      • Beginning and Ending Account ranges for each section:
        • Cash or Cash Equivalents
        • Depreciation Expense
        • Accumulated Depreciation
        • Amortization Expense
        • Accumulated Amortization
        • Gain or Loss on Asset Sales
        • Accounts used for Sold Assets
