Hi Janet -- your company has to be rebuilt (i.e. create a new data file) in order to change the fiscal year and how difficult this is can vary depending on a variety of factors in your dataset.  If you'd like to discuss feel free to give us a call 800-339-8224.  Thanks ... Tim

Hi Janet,

Good news!

We can do this without rebuilding the file.  All data is preserved.  

We can send you a worksheet to identify how you want your data shifted.  You will have to file a short year tax return in this process.  The cost is less than $1000.

We have an A+ BBB review and good Google reviews on our website.  We are also insured.

Please reach out for more information. 

I'm not sure how to determine the difficulty level but if you are not comfortable with exporting and importing data into a new database I would recommend seeking professional assistance with this.
