Report Library

Report Library is the catalog for every financial report DayZero builds — statements, trial balance, aging, tax, QoE, and more. Configure parameters, Generate Report, and download when ready; schedule email delivery or use AI Suggest for recommendations.

Key capabilities

  • Searchable catalog organized into a dozen collapsible categories (P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow, Trial Balance & GL, AR/AP, Tax, Banking, Equity, Analysis, Transactions, Inventory, QoE)
  • Four tabs — Report Catalog, Recent Reports, Scheduled, and Import Templates
  • Output as Excel (XLSX), CSV, or HTML — pick the format per run
  • Period presets (This Month, This Quarter, This Year, custom) and comparison-period date pickers for variance reports
  • Per-report parameters: account/customer/vendor/tag/budget pickers, grouping (monthly/quarterly/yearly), payment method, an Accrual / Cash basis choice on statements that support it (it opens on the books you are currently in), and toggles like include variance, common size, and YoY
  • Asynchronous generation with live progress (streamed status, percent complete) and automatic download when complete
  • Recent Reports list to re-download anything generated earlier
  • Scheduled tab for recurring auto-generation and email delivery (daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, or annually), with optional client-portal visibility
  • Import Templates tab with downloadable CSV templates for every import, individually or as one ZIP
  • AI Suggest panel recommends reports based on your business profile and report history
  • Favorite (star) any report into a Quick Access row
  • Add-on gating: CFO Suite and QoE & Due Diligence reports show a badge, a lock, and an upgrade prompt until enabled
  • Custom one-off reports can be built through the AI chat when the catalog doesn't have what you need

How it works

Generation is offloaded to a background task. The panel streams status updates and downloads the file the moment it finishes, so large reports never block the UI.

How to use it

  1. Open Reports — the Report Catalog tab lists every report by category.
  2. Search by name or description, or expand a category to browse. Click the star on a report to pin it to Quick Access.
  3. Click a report to open the generate panel. Pick a Period preset or enter custom Start/End dates (some reports are as-of-date only; comparison reports add a second date range).
  4. Set any report-specific parameters (grouping, accounts, customer/vendor, tags, toggles).
  5. Choose an Output Format — XLSX, CSV, or HTML — then click Generate Report.
  6. Watch the progress bar; the file downloads automatically on success and also lands in Recent Reports.
  7. Switch to the Scheduled tab and click New Schedule to set the report, frequency, run time and time zone, basis (or follow the business default), client-portal visibility, and email recipients. Edit, pause, resume, or delete a schedule from the same list.
  8. Open the AI Suggest panel for recommendations, and click Run Report to jump straight into a suggestion with parameters pre-filled.

Pro tips

  • Reports run in the background — if one is slow, keep working and grab it from Recent Reports when it completes (the panel even survives a timeout by pointing you there).
  • Use HTML output for a quick on-screen read, XLSX when you'll pivot or edit, and CSV for importing into another tool.
  • Comparative and periodic statements (with variance, common-size, and YoY columns) live in the catalog, not on the live statement pages — use them for board decks and client packages.
  • Schedule the P&L and Balance Sheet to auto-generate and email monthly so clients get a consistent package without manual effort. Pin a basis on the schedule if recipients must always get accrual (or cash) figures; otherwise it follows the business default.
  • Locked reports (CFO Suite, QoE & Due Diligence) show an upgrade prompt — during a trial these are unlocked so you can evaluate them.
  • Need a CSV layout for importing data? Open Import Templates for the files plus a README for each.
  • Need something bespoke? Use Generate a custom report in chat to have the AI assemble a report, deck, or document from your data.

Parameters and input types

Input type What you set

With customer/vendor/ledger/tag An entity picker to scope the report
Forecast params Forecast horizon in days
No params Runs immediately (e.g. Chart of Accounts)
Live view Opens an on-screen report with live data (no async export)

Formats

  • XLSX, CSV, and HTML — multi-tab reports (e.g. Master Transactions, QoE Workbook) are richest as XLSX.
  • If generation fails or times out, use Retry or check Recent Reports — the file may still finish in the background.

Add-ons and access

  • Reports flagged for the CFO Suite or QoE & Due Diligence add-ons show a lock icon until that add-on is enabled. CFO Suite reports include the comparative, by-period, and details statements, Revenue by Customer, P&L by Department/Tag, Monthly Balance Sheet, Cash Flow by Period and Forecast, ratios and summary dashboards, Budget vs Actual, Working Capital, Retained Earnings, Shareholder Loans, 1099, and Subscription Costs. Generating one without the add-on is refused (403).
  • During your free trial, and in demo workspaces, every add-on is unlocked so you can evaluate them.
