Is it possible to shorten your accounting period?We have recently shortened the accounting reference date of our UK based company (via companies house)

Hey Craig26,

Thank you for joining us on the UK community for QuickBooks Online.

There is not a way to set the system up in such a way to automatically recognise your shorter accounting period. However, you are able to set the starting of the accounting period - and then any reports you run, P +L, Balance Sheet or Trial Balance - modify the end date of that period on the report itself; to show the information you require.

When you do your Final Accounts - this will be done based on the time-period you select in these reports; so you can still achieve the correct end result.
