QBO management reportsNeed polished reports for your banker, directors, or investors? The Management Reports feature is a simple, yet powerful feature in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

The feature allows you to produce financial statements as needed and can be emailed or printed. In a few simple steps, you can customize a professional-looking package of reports, complete with:

  • Cover page
  • Table of contents
  • Preliminary pages
  • Reports
  • Closing notes/comments

Available Packages

There are two standard packages available. They are:

Basic Company Financials: In addition to the Cover Page, Table of Contents, and Closing Comments, this package includes a Profit and Loss Statement, Balance Sheet, and Statement of Cash Flows. You can add reports (up to 15 total) to customize your package.

Extended Company Financials: This set of reports includes all reports in the Basic Company Financials plus an A/R Aging report and A/P Aging report.

Making Reports

You can customize the ready-to-use report packages already in QBO easily. Make the reports represent your needs by choosing “Edit” under the “Action” column:
