Chapter 34
My accountant wants the books. What do I send them?
Three reports cover almost everything an accountant asks for, and none of them need explaining beforehand — they are the standard shape any accountant already reads.
The trial balance shows every account and its balance, in one page. The general ledger shows every entry behind those balances, account by account. The day book shows every entry in the order it happened, which is what most reviews actually start from.
Printing them
Each report can be produced for any period — a month, a quarter, the whole fiscal year — and printed as a document carrying your shop's own name, ready to hand over or email as it is, with no further work on your side.
If your accountant asks specifically for the chart of accounts, that is a fourth, shorter report: the list of every account the shop uses, which in Turkey follows the published Tekdüzen plan and needs no separate explanation for a Turkish accountant reading it.
