Keep the main ledger in sync

The bank export uses QuickBooks’ accepted three-column layout: date, description and signed amount. The invoice export includes its required invoice fields. Review the date range and duplicates before each import.

Companies House boundary

Now shaped around the submitted 2024/25 accounts

The working balance sheet and fund note follow the structure in the six-page Companies House submission. The signed accounts still need the accounting policies, supporting notes, approval statement and iXBRL tagging where required. Use your accountant or approved filing software for submission.

Figures in this workspace are management records. Reconcile them to QuickBooks and the bank before they are used in signed accounts.
