Hi Catja
Sage have a way of changing your year end. You need to send them a back up disc and they do it for you - at a cost. Years ago I asked about it, and the cost was so prohibitive I didn't take it any further.
The free cost option is to finish the year end at 31 March; start up a new company with a year end of 31 December, and then meld the figures together when the time comes.
Rather cumbersome, but financially painless :thumbup1:

Extend Year End
If you are using Line 50 you can extend of shorten the year.
There is a procdedure to follow in the Help section which takes you through the steps to extend the year end.
Basically you have to post a journal that moves existing P&L balances to a date which is within 12 months of the new year end. For example, you would run a TB at 31/3/08, post a journal to clear all the P&L balances to the Retained Profit (3200) account dated 31/3/08, then post the reverse of that journal dated 1/4/08.
The suggested Sage procedure takes you through a very thorough reconciliation process.
If you are using Instant, I like Claudia's suggestion.0
