Re: [GNC] Australian Accountants familiar with GNUCash
I agree with you Alan, I do the bookkeeping work and my accountant uses P and Balance Sheet that I send him at the end of the year. Perhaps it depends on the size of the business but often one also needs to supply bank statement reconciliations for end of year tax returns too, but gnucash can do those too. I save the years invoices, bank statements, bank recs, wage information, receipts etc into one folder during the year that I can then share with the accountant at the years end (thats for businesses that I bookkeeper for - unfortunately they mostly have their accounts on proprietary cloud accounting software - unless I can persuade them otherwise) Good luck Susie On Wed, 25 Oct. 2023, 9:27 pm flywire, wrote: > https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2023-October/109255.html > Alan Hopkins wrote: > > I know an accountant who has, for at least one business, accepted printed > P & Balance Sheet from a 2002 version of Quickbooks together with end of > year bank statements - he has never wanted to get the info on disk/USB as > his lackies just enter the financial data (from P & Balance Sheet) into > their software and check bank balances etc, so the same should be > achievable for GNUCash. > > lol, That's my accountant, tells me what reports and documents he wants > (which also includes a transaction statement and a summary spreadsheet for > various entities).

I'd suggest looking for a bookkeeper or someone with a finance/admin background. People know what their interests are and the right person would pick up GnuCash soon enough.

Re: [GNC] Australian Accountants familiar with GNUCash
Hello Michael That's a very common story with accountants in Australia these days - they have often put themselves into a relationship with Xero, MYOB or Reckon and prefer you to use "their" system. Unfortunately, I don't know of the existence of any such list I know an accountant who has, for at least one business, accepted printed P & Balance Sheet from a 2002 version of Quickbooks together with end of year bank statements - he has never wanted to get the info on disk/USB as his lackies just enter the financial data (from P & Balance Sheet) into their software and check bank balances etc, so the same should be achievable for GNUCash. Other documentation such as a Trial Balance (to show accounts are balanced) can also be easily generated from GNUCash. I also know a small not-for-profit charity that keeps their books with GNUCash and it is perfectly acceptable for their situation - with that one, however, I happen to be acting as their accountant! (this is not a commercial for my services by the way!) Keep in mind that you might be able to export the financial data in a form which the accountant could then import into her/his software, so it might be worth asking her/him what format is acceptable - that way you may avoid labour charges for keying in data. Perhaps you might need to look for another, possibly small, accountancy firm? Sorry I couldn't be of more help - someone like Flywire might have suggestions for you or know of such a list. Good luck!

Is there a list of Accountants for each country looking for work that is familiar with GNUCash? I just got off the phone from an accountant that had agreed to take on my company to find out he still has not done anything and said it was going to be expensive due to his unfamiliarity with GNUCash, and that they are already behind with their existing workload.
