Hi, In an effort to make my Bullet accounts look like my bank account I made a bunch of mistakes. But because the tax period has passed I can’t delete the items. What’s the best way to fix it all up now? I know. I’m a nightmare.

Bullet is designed to match your bank account, that’s the idea of balanced accounts. 
Have you submitted that return?

    Ok, so do you want the good news or the bad news?

    It can be fixed.

You’ll need to get your accountant to rectify this there are no workflows in Bullet to fix this problem. Here are main things you’ll have to do, but you’re accountant will know. 

  • You can fix your past errors by clicking on the tax period and marking it as unpaid. You’ll find that here.
  • Then you’ll need to get your accountant to submit an adjusted VAT return. 
  • Then you’ll need to get your accountant to enter that into Bullet using Manual Journal Entries, they can be found here.
  • You can invite your accountant into Bullet by using the multi user mode, see here.

Thanks Pete

    Sure, it's pretty common. He/She might have a work around. But it's good to get your Bullet up to date. We'll start bringing out smarter reports, so the better the data is the better the reports.
    Sorry about the hassle. It's a pain.

    Another question on a related note:

    How do I enter equity - owner and 3rd party investor cash sitting in the bank?
  6. Peter Connor August 15, 2016
    So we have workflows for Directors Loan & Standard Loan/Grant you'll find it in Money In Loan/Grant https://accounts-app.bullethq.com/users/login.page
    If it's outside of that you'll need to use the journal entries too. There are tones of ways this can be handled so it was too hard to build a simple workflow for it, therefore it's most likely an accountant would do it anyway.
    Tomorrows Friday, had to finish with some good news :)
