Jim2 is designed to manage up to 2 consecutive financial years before requiring a financial year to be closed. This gives users adequate time to prepare financial information for closing the financial year. For users who haven’t closed off the 2020/2021 financial year, you will need to close it prior to commencing trading in the 2022/2023 financial year.
Please note, that this is particularly important for companies that have implemented Jim2 in recent years.
Before you can close off your FIRST financial year in Jim2, you must ensure that:
- all General Ledger Opening Balances from your previous system has been entered into Jim2,
- the opening balance debtors and creditors match the General Ledger, and
- the balance in the 3-9999 Historical Balancing account has been brought to zero.
These steps are required before you can close off your first financial year and continue trading.
Jim2.Cloud users must contact our support team to stop your JES instance in order to complete the final step of the closing-off process.
The following links to Jim2 Online Help will guide you through the process.

We emphasise that prior to closing off a financial year, you must contact your accountant to confirm that all Taxation Lodgements and end-of-year General Journals have been completed.
If you are using the “Post into Future Periods” global variable in Jim2, you are effectively bypassing Jim2’s financial period date control, allowing users to post transactions into any financial year. We strongly recommend that this global variable be deactivated. Please contact the Happen Business Support Team for assistance.
