Previous accounting years

Dear all,
I created my limited company in 2013 to support my consultancy activity.
Until now I had an accountant who was managing my micro activity.
As he stopped his activity I opted for QuickFile.

My question is related to the previous years, at least the end of the last exercise, i.e 2020/2021.
How can I “import” my balances and ensure my balance sheet and p&l for 2021/2022 are correct ?
I can’t find the information on the faq…

Thanking you in advance
Pascal

I wrote an article on Switching Accounting Software, plz have a look perhaps it can be of help to you

Hello @Binjo92170

Prior to you using QuickFile how were your records stored?
Were they?

  • Paper based.
  • In a spreadsheet.
  • In another accounting package.

You would usually have you closing balance sheet from your previous system that you can import as a journal which will form the opening balances for your accounts for your current year.

Dear both
Thank you for your replies.
Unfortunately my accountant only sent me paper copies of the documents.
I then have no electronic info.

I have read this journal method
This would mean I have to create this journal by myself. Not being an accountant , it will be great :rofl:

Well I assume it will not be that complex, I don’t run Microsoft or Apple !

Thanks !

You can create a TB (trial balance, a list of all account balances) and enter that in QF as starting point

Dear both

Unfortunately in all financial statements received from my accountant I only have
P&l for the year ended 31 march 2021
And
Balance sheet as at 31 march 2022

Is there any chance an accountant can create this trial balance from such documents?
Kind regards
Pascal

Yes, it is possible to create TB from accounts

Dear both,
Thank you.
I believe I have done it correctly as the TB is well balanced
I wish it will be ok

Well balanced does not mean it is correct as well, hahaha… welcome to the world of accountancy
