Reports

Reports collects your figures in one place, straight from your books. Choose a report in the list on the left; the open report stays in the address, so you can share the link.

​

The reports

The VAT return is named after your tax system, and it has its own page: VAT return and Before you file.

​

Financial statements

Financial Statements has tabs for the profit and loss statement, the balance sheet, cash flow, tax, equity, the trial balance and the notes. The names follow your accounting standard (for example “Statement of Financial Position” under IFRS).

• Pick the period with MTD, QTD, YTD, FY or Custom Range.
• Tick Compare YoY to see the same period last year beside it.
• Open any line to see the ledger entries behind it.

If a statement cannot be tied back to your ledger, Softbooq does not show figures it cannot stand behind: you see Report withheld: cannot be reconciled to the ledger. Books Health shows what is wrong.

​

Who owes you, and since when

AR Aging sorts what customers owe into Not yet due, 0-30 Days, 31-60 Days, 61-90 Days and Over 90 Days, plus No due date when an invoice has none. AP Aging does the same for what you owe suppliers.

​

Matching the bank

Recon Workbench matches bank lines to invoices, bills and payments. Use Run Auto-Match, then confirm or reject each suggested match. Cash Reconciliation shows, per bank and cash account, whether it has been reconciled.

​

Exporting

The Export menu at the top offers CSV or PDF, for the reports that provide them.

​

Reports on a schedule

To have a report made for you on a schedule, set up a Workflow in the Softbooq AI app. Each run saves the report, with a short commentary from Jacinta on what changed, and notifies you. The figures come from your ledger; a set number of commentaries each month is included in your plan. See Softbooq AI app.
