Most businesses send statements to customers who have outstanding balances at the end of a month. Statements will be generated using the statement form you choose at the time of emailing or printing, and you can personalise your statement form to suit your business needs.

Once you've set up AccountRight to send emails, you're good to go. This includes personalising your default email messages.

To save statements to disk

To save statements to disk you'll need third-party software to "print" (save) the statements as PDF documents. Windows 10 has a built-in Print to PDF option which you can select when printing, or you can use a program like Adobe Acrobat or CutePDF to provide the ability to print (save) documents as PDFs.

Once you have the ability to print to PDF, when printing statements in AccountRight and you're prompted to choose a printer, choose the PDF printer from the list of printers. This saves the statements as PDF documents.
