Books start date

The first day Solo officially manages the workspace’s books and reporting.

In Solo Superstars

Where it is used: Confirm it in Workspace setup or the owning accounting setting. It must be the first day of a month. Earlier transactions can remain as historical evidence, but they are outside the Solo-managed period.

Example

Books start date January 1, 2026 means December activity can support a crossing bank statement, but managed reporting begins January 1.

Codes shown are the defaults a new workspace starts with. Yours may be renamed or renumbered — check Accounting › Chart of accounts. See the full default chart.
