# The year-end process

Last modified February 23, 2026

> This overview presents the main steps for the year end work process.


A financial year is closed automatically when you close the last period of this financial year. Thus, you should close the last period of a particular financial year only when the company is ready to close the financial year.

The links below will guide you through the work process. Each link represents a separate task, from which you can navigate to the next step in this process. You can always choose to go back to this page by clicking ![icon-navigate-back-helpcentre](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/media/visma-net-erp/icon-navigate-back-helpcentre.png), or use the link under the Related work process overview.
