Note: Most of these reports are duplicates of the monthly reports. Some people like to run them to have a quarterly view of their business.
Wait until all entries are made for the quarter. The 1st quarter reports can't be printed until all the bills (telephone bill, credit cards, etc.) are received or accrued. This is usually sometime toward the end of month following the quarter.
After all entries have been made for the quarter, we recommend that you run these reports:
Profit & Loss Statement [Spreadsheet] report
Balance Sheet report
Receivables Reconciliation [Summary] report
Payables Reconciliation [Summary] report
Summary Trial Balance report
Detail Trial Balance report
Note: Depending upon the amount of tax you withhold from your employee paychecks, you may be required to report and/or remit money to the government according to the schedule sent to you by both national and local authorities. For help in preparing remittance reports, see Payroll Tax Reporting and Deposits.
Note: Once you settle on the list of reports you like to run every month, consider creating a report batch for them. Refer to What's a Report Batch? for more information.
