Financial statements in your old system's format

LiveWhat does Your Statements, Your Layout do? Finance teams switch systems without relearning their statements, and can tie Kinnow to the old system line by line.
How it works
When you move to Kinnow, it keeps your old system's statement structure: headings, sub-groups and ledgers in the original order. Each ledger shows Kinnow's own balance and each group the sum beneath it; lines like gross profit use Kinnow's standard calculation. Without an old layout, the standard statement is used.
Subtotals are always worked out by Kinnow, never copied from the imported file, so the comparison is a real check.
Step by step
- Export from your old system. Your accountant exports the profit and loss and the balance sheet as your old software prints them, with the headings and sub-groups indented as usual.
- The layout is read from the export. The indentation of the file gives the structure: which line is a heading, which is a sub-group and which is a ledger. Kinnow keeps that order.
- Kinnow checks the layout before saving it. A layout with a line that has no ledger to read from, two sub-groups sharing one name, or a heading nested wrongly is refused when it is built, not discovered later on a screen.
- Each line is filled from Kinnow's own books. A ledger line shows Kinnow's balance for the account of the same name. A group shows the sum of the lines beneath it. Gross profit and net profit use Kinnow's standard calculation.
- Your accountant compares line by line. Open the report beside the old statement. A difference shows against a named ledger or group, not just a different total.
- Export it. The CSV or Excel export keeps the indentation, so the file can be laid next to the old one.

What you see on screen
These are report screens in Analytics (Know) application.
| Screen or button | What it shows or does |
|---|---|
| Profit and loss in your layout | Rows in your old order: heads, sub-groups and ledgers, each indented to show its level. Groups show the total of the rows below them. |
| Balance sheet in your layout | Assets, liabilities and equity in the order your old statement printed them, with a prior-year column when Kinnow has a prior year to compare. |
| Column heading | The date the balance is as at, not a financial-year label. |
| Export to CSV or Excel | The same nested rows, indented, so the export and the screen have the same shape. |
Who uses it
| Who | When |
|---|---|
| Accountant or finance head | In the first months after moving, when the old statement is still the reference. |
| Your CA or auditor | To tie the opening balances and the first closing to the old system's printed statements. |
| Owner | When reading the numbers in a format they already know. |
