Suppose that a client wants to change their fiscal year end date from March 2009 to December 2008 by means of a short year.

1. Complete the client's processing to the end of the short year (12/31/08 in this example).
2. Run all necessary reports.
3. Make a backup of the client's information. Note that this backup should be considered an end-of-year backup.
4. Choose File > Select Period to Process and select January 2009.
5. Choose File > Client Properties and click the General Ledger tab.
6. Click the Change fiscal year end date button.
7. Enter 12/31/09 in the New fiscal year end field on the Change fiscal year end date dialog.
8. Click the Continue button. This will automatically take you through a year end close to obtain the proper beginning balances for the new year.
9. Process the rest of the client's year as usual.
