We’re excited to introduce two powerful new features that make financial reporting even more flexible and professional!
Now, you can export your financial reports directly to Microsoft Word (.docx). This allows for easier customization, formatting, and branding, giving you full control over your report presentation.
With custom page breaks, you can now manually insert breaks exactly where you need them, ensuring your reports are clean, professional, and easy to read.
✅ Both features are available in the Pro version of Financial Reports and Legal Documents.
We’re improving the way you manage tax depreciation in LodgeiT. You can now add pools and assets directly into the Company, Trust, Partnership and Superfund tax returns.
You can seamlessly migrate existing assets if you’ve used our depreciation tool before. LodgeiT will map pools and assets to their appropriate sections on the tax return, eliminating the need for manual entry.
