Exporting Reports for Your Accountant
JiffyTrade allows you to export financial summaries in both CSV and PDF formats.
Navigate to:
My Business → Business Finances
Before exporting, ensure you configure:
- Date range
- Accounting basis (Accrual or Cash)
- Paid Invoices Only (if required)
Exports reflect exactly what is selected at the time of export.
📄 PDF Export
PDF export generates a clean, formatted financial summary.
Best used for:
- Accountant reviews
- Internal reporting
- Tax preparation
- Quarterly summaries
- Meetings
The PDF respects:
- Date range
- Basis selection
- Paid filter
It mirrors the on-screen summary in a print-ready layout.
📊 CSV Export
CSV export generates raw financial data suitable for:
- Spreadsheet analysis (Excel, Google Sheets)
- Import into accounting software
- Custom financial modelling
- Bookkeeping systems
CSV files include structured totals and relevant invoice data based on selected filters.
💰 Choosing Accrual vs Cash for Your Accountant
Before exporting, confirm which accounting method your accountant uses.
Accrual
Recognises revenue when invoices are issued.
Cash
Recognises revenue when invoices are marked as paid.
Using the wrong basis may cause discrepancies in reporting.
🧾 Using “Paid Invoices Only”
For revenue-focused exports:
Enable:
Paid Invoices Only
This excludes unpaid invoices from summaries.
Useful when:
- Preparing VAT submissions
- Calculating real income
- Reconciling bank deposits
🖨 Print-Ready View
You may also use the Print button in the top-right corner of the Reports page.
This produces a simplified, clean version of the dashboard.
Ideal for:
- Quick sharing
- Internal reviews
- Physical copies
⚠ Important Notes
Exports:
- Do not modify your data
- Do not change invoice status
- Do not affect locking
- Do not alter financial calculations
They are read-only outputs.
