In the various report options you can set the start date and end date
of the reports to anything you wish.  There is even a "Fiscal Year
Start" and "Fiscal Year End" option, but those default to July 1/June
30.  There's no way to change that.

Gnucash also has no "end of year" processing, so there's no way to
"close the books".  But that's ok -- the reports all do the right
thing and handle data across year boundaries.
