Hi Nathanshoals,
You’re on the right track thinking about this now. If you’ll stop trading and just need your accountant to access past Accounts, Banking, Sales and Inventory in AccountRight, the main thing is to keep your existing company file available online and ensure your accountant has a user login with the right access. You can also check out our current plans to see which one best suits your business needs at this stage. You can also contact our team on Live Chat via our virtual assistant, MOCA, or by submitting a support case via My Account if you need help choosing the option that keeps your file accessible for your accountant.
Cheers,
Doreen
Hi Doreen,
So any business which has closed but not had its tax returns etc. finalised will need to keep paying $165 a month, long after any income has ceased? For ceased businesses in the past I have taken a full backup to a USB and given it to the accountant. Now I suppose this wont be possible and we'll keep paying until he gets around to finishing with it.
Not very fair - surely the data in the file which has been paid to process while a subscription was in place should still be accessible by the accountant, even if by backup?
Thanks
Vicki
Hi Vicki,
Totally get why you’re worried about access after a business has stopped trading. Your data can still be restored and accessed by your accountant from a backup, even after you’re no longer actively using the file. For more detail on how this works with the recent changes, you can check out the FAQs in this Community Forum announcement.
Cheers,
Doreen
Thanks Doreen.
But no-one will be able to edit the file for EOFY purposes after 17 June i.e. interest, depreciation, adjusting journals etc. at 30 June? I suppose we will have no choice but to keep the file alive for at least another month.
