Upload reports

Drop a Zoho Books export in and the dashboard updates. Nothing is overwritten until the file reads cleanly.

Start with the general ledger

If you only upload one file, make it the general ledger — it produces the P&L, balance sheet and cash flow on its own. Add the opening trial balance once so the balance sheet has a starting point, then the three sales reports for the revenue and receivables views.

General Ledger

Monthly

The backbone of the whole dashboard. Every P&L, balance sheet and cash flow figure is derived from this one file, and each number stays clickable back to the transactions behind it. Export the full financial year; re-uploading a period simply replaces it.

In Zoho Books: Reports → Accountant → General Ledger → Export as XLSX

Opening Trial Balance

Once a year

The closing trial balance of the previous financial year. The ledger alone cannot tell us what the balance sheet opened at, so this seeds it. Needed once a year.

Invoice Details

Weekly

Drives the revenue view: billing by month, client, vertical and salesperson, plus client concentration.

Credit Note Details

Weekly

Credit notes reduce revenue in the ledger but never appear in Invoice Details, so without this file the Revenue page reads high against the P&L. One credit note applied to several invoices is exported once per invoice; it is counted once.

Recurring Retainership Fee

Monthly

Splits revenue between the monthly retainer and one-off professional work — the split shown on the Revenue page and in Budget vs Actual. Two shapes are read: one row per customer per month (customer_name, amount, Month), or the hand-kept table with one column per month. Re-uploading replaces every month the file covers, so a corrected list fixes itself.

In Zoho Books: Reports → Sales → Sales by Item → Export as XLSX

Customer Payments

Weekly

Drives collections and DSO — what was billed against what actually came in.

AR Aging Details

Weekly

A snapshot of what is outstanding and how old it is. Each upload is a dated snapshot, so the trend builds up over time.
