    • For a new client, you can use the spreadsheet import feature to import Chart of Accounts data (including beginning balance amounts).
    • If you add a Beginning Balance column to a Trial Balance View, the application will update that column during the year-end close. The beginning balance amounts are supported by a transaction automatically generated by the application. These events can be out of balance, but critical checkpoints require the balances to be resolved prior to closing the year.
