Accounts Reporting

The accounts reporting function allows you to bulk transfer data from Chalkstring to your 3rd party accounts software.  

To achieve this, you have the ability to map in the nominal codes already used by your accounts package, alongside the ability to create and track values against costs and revenues within Chalkstring for items including; retention, sales taxes (VAT) and labour taxes (CIS).

This feature allows you to periodically produce a CSV file containing all the relevant account data, ready for transfer to your 3rd party accounts software.
