👨‍💼 How to Use Hedgi With Your CPA

Bookkeeping made easy for you — and painless for your accountant.

One of the best parts about using Hedgi? You don’t need to be a bookkeeping expert to hand off clean, organized records to your CPA. Whether it’s for tax prep, financial planning, or audit defense, Hedgi keeps your books ready for professional review — with minimal back-and-forth.

Here’s how to work seamlessly with your accountant.

📦 What Your CPA Actually Needs

Most accountants don’t want a shoebox of receipts or an Excel file full of mystery transactions. They want:

  • A clean Profit & Loss statement

  • Details on major purchases or asset acquisitions

  • Categorized transactions with consistent logic

  • Supporting notes or memos for anything unclear

  • Access to your final ledger, not a dump of raw data

Hedgi gives you all of that — and formats it for tax season.

📁 Step-by-Step: Getting Your Books to Your CPA

✅ Monthly (Recommended)

  • Export your P&L report (PDF or CSV)

  • Include any major updates or purchases in the memo fields

  • For Agentic users: use the Monthly Summary, which includes categorized transactions, journal entries, and flagged items

🧾 Year-End

  • Send your final Year-End Summary (coming soon)

  • Include your categorized ledger (CSV or PDF)

  • Mention anything unusual: vehicle purchases, home office use, mixed personal/business expenses

🤝 Invite Your CPA (Web Access – Coming Soon)

Soon, you’ll be able to grant accountant access via the web app, giving your CPA:

  • Read-only access to reports

  • A full categorized transaction list

  • Journal entry breakdowns and memos

  • Download options for tax software imports

Until then, just export and share — or download the reports and drop them into your shared folder.

🧠 Pro Tips for CPA Handoff

  • Use memos to explain gray-area items (“Personal phone used for business 80%”)

  • Tag personal expenses in mixed-use accounts — they’ll be excluded from your P&L

  • Don’t worry about tax forms — your CPA will take your Hedgi reports and plug them into their software

🎯 For Agentic Users

Hedgi already preps most of what your CPA needs:

  • Journal entries? ✅

  • Deductible vs non-deductible split? ✅

  • Audit-proof notes? ✅

Just export your summary and send it over. Most CPAs will thank you for not using QuickBooks.
