The figure sitting on that closed screen, the one October can still use

QuickBooks can show a dozen panes. You need the one that changes the year.

Finding 01One figure

It lives on a month that is already closed. If the month is open, the figure is a guess and October cannot use it.

This page will not invent the figure. The shape is a closed month with one spot circled, and your number stays in your file.

Finding 02What a screen cannot do

Keeping books on a screen is ordinary work and nobody here holds a CPA license. An audit, a review or a compilation of your statements has to be signed by a firm that holds one, and if a lender has asked for that you'll hear it on the first call rather than after a subscription has started.

A bank feed does not finish a month on its own, whatever the marketing pane implies. Payday runs on a provider that stays in your name. The rest of the limits sit on the disclosures page.

Finding 03That figure is the seat

A bookkeeper can close the month. The Tax CFO is the person who tells you what the circled spot means before the year ends.

Describe the pane you stare at and we will say if it can hold that spot.
