A report turns one client’s accounts into a file you can share or keep on record. Each report is made once and never changes. Advisor keeps every report you export, so you can open it again later.

Report types

What goes into a report:
  • Only accepted balances. A statement balance still marked To check is left out. See Money.
  • Only settled transactions. Pending transactions are never reported.
  • Transfers between the client’s own accounts are left out of spending and income.
  • Bank accounts are listed first, then accounts from statements.

Making a report

1

Start a new report

Go to Reports and select New report, or select one of the three report cards. On a client, you can also choose Export a report from the … menu, or New report on the client’s Reports tab.
2

Choose the report and the client

Pick the report, then search for and choose the Client.
3

Choose the date or period

A Balance summary needs an As at date. The other two need a From and To date.
4

Choose the format

Pick PDF or CSV, then select Export.
The new report opens in the viewer as soon as it’s made.

Date rules

  • No date can be after today.
  • A period can cover at most two years.
  • Dates are calendar days in Sydney time.

Formats

  • PDF: set on your firm’s letterhead, with your logo, your brand colour as an accent, your email and your portal address. See Branding.
  • CSV: one row per account, or one row per transaction for a period report.

Viewing a report

Opening a report never downloads it. It opens in the viewer:
  • The details are on the left: client, report, date or period, format, when it was created and who made it.
  • The pages are on the right, with page and zoom controls. A CSV shows as a table.
  • Use the arrows to move to the previous or next report in the list.
  • Press Escape or select Close to go back to the list.

Downloading a report

Select Download in the viewer, or choose Download from a report’s menu in the list.

Deleting a report

1

Find the report

Open the report, or open its menu in the list.
2

Delete it

Choose Delete report (or Delete from the list menu) and confirm.
The file and its pages are deleted, and links to it stop working. The figures it was made from are kept, so you can export it again.

Reports page and client Reports tab

  • The Reports page shows Recent exports for every client. Show them as a Table or Gallery, and use Search exports to find one by report, client or period.
  • A client’s Reports tab shows only that client’s reports, with New report to make another.
An archived client can’t have new reports made. Reports made before the client was archived stay.

From the API

Reports can also be listed, made and deleted through the Advisor API and MCP. A download link from the API works for 15 minutes.
