Not too familiar with Pastel Xpress - bookkeeper wants to commence input for new client before posting previous year's closing balances, which are not yet available.

Can she set up client and start posting March 2020 input and then post last year journal to load closing balances for previous year or must she set up client with year end 28 February 2020 and roll forward into new year in order to have a previous year available for the last year journal posting?

Any comments appreciated. Nice ones.
