Define the active reporting period
Review before closing
Check invoice statuses, payment records and expenses before a period is closed. Corrections are easier while the underlying business context is still available.
Compare like with like
Year-specific reporting helps separate current performance from historical activity. Compare equivalent periods and account for one-time costs before drawing conclusions.
Preserve a clear record
Closing a period should protect reporting consistency while keeping historical invoices and expenses available for reference.
