👨💼 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.
