What better way ?  Your use is idiosyncratic, most other accounting 
systems in this class would simply say, "no, you must use our 
understanding of accounting periods".

gnc is allowing you the arbitrary reporting periods you want because it 
is aware they are views on a stream of transactions

if you want to produce a balance sheet on your birthday last year, gnc 
doesn't have a problem with that.

it seems to me that having found something that offers you your very 
specific accounting periods as well as an infinite variety you want 
something else.


again: please reply to the list.  this isn't just between you and me
