End of Year Checklist and Training Resources for New Zealand

This article explains the key end‑of‑year tasks for each Jobpac module used by New Zealand companies. It helps you confirm that month‑end and year‑end activities are complete so you can roll smoothly into the new financial year.

Business Forecasting (BFM)

You use BFM to review project financials and finalise the Profit & Loss before rolling over to the new year.
1. Complete the BFM end‑of‑period review.
2. Print the required BFM reports.
3. Post all BFM journals before rollover.
4. Review your Profit & Loss and make any final updates. You can continue to adjust projects and repost until the P&L is correct.
5. Run the BFM end‑of‑month. After this, no further P&L changes can be made.
