Project profitability means documented project income/cost reporting, not just a time tracker. Report export can be HTML, PDF or spreadsheet; see the specific format below.

Test your own workflow before switching

Ask your accountant which plan and report exports they actually need. Test a small signed bank CSV in a duplicate-free date window, then reconcile balances.

Preserve opening balances, open receivables and payables, tax balances, attachments and a dated trial balance. A CSV bank statement contains bank activity; it does not recreate invoices, inventory, account history or reconciliations. Confirm that the chosen account, role and edition support the needed import/export format.
