Resetting Account Balances for New Financial Year

We are starting to use Solar Accounts for our accounting package from 1/4/2019. However this has been used previously for our invoicing needs.
I need to put to Zero various items such as bank balance and possibly other items so that we can start afresh from 1/4/2019.
Therefore I would be grateful if you could let me know how to put to zero or delete items that have accumulated over a period prior to 31/3/2019.
Many Thanks
Andrew Owen

Hello Andrew,

Regarding your question about setting account balances to zero: Is 1/4/2019
the start of your financial year?

Hi Mark,

Yes the 1/4/2019 is the start of our financial year

Hi Andy,

OK in that case click menu Setup > Financial Year. If the start date is
not 1/4/2019, click "Start a new financial Year" and enter 1/4/2019.

Then go to the Accounts list and double-click on the account to set the
Opening Balance to zero.
