I have mistakenly made my business year start as January instead of April in my account. How do I change the setting to start my accounting year in April please? Thanks

You've arrived at the right forum, Angela. Allow me to walk you through the steps in modifying the setting of your start of the accounting year in QuickBooks Online.

Changing your fiscal year or the start of your financial year will also change the dates in your report. Yet, your data will not change, so you can enter the dates you need to see the data in your previous year.

Here's how to change the beginning of your accounting year:

1. Go to the Gear icon and choose Accounts and Settings.
2. Select the Advanced tab and click on the Accounting section.
3. Choose April for the first month of the fiscal year option. 
4. Click Save, and then Done.
