Ready for a new fiscal year
Your todo list to get ready for a new fiscal year in Xena.

If you already use Xena, here are some tips on getting started on a new fiscal period. Not all companies follows the calendar year for their fiscal periods. Many do though, thus the following example assumes the fiscal period follows the calendar.

Remember to invite you accountant
When using Xena, it is free to invite your accountant. It has many benefits. For starters, Xena has a unique integration with the accountant software CaseWare used by many accountants. When you give your accountant access to your fiscal, you have also delivered all vouchers. It’s as easy as that!
Your accountant don't need your personal Xena password
Your accountant must have his own Xena user account. He uses his own password to have access to multiple fiscals. When invited, the accountant can see all the information he need in Xena to do a revision of your fiscal.
If you want your accountant to do bookkeeping assign your accountant the role as "bookkeeper".
