Tips & Best Practices

Tip: Lock the period before exporting the P&L for tax filing — Settings → Accounting Periods. Locked periods can't be edited, prevents accidental drift.
Tip: Cash vs accrual matters: most East African SMEs file taxes on cash basis but track operational P&L on accrual. The toggle handles both.
