Yes, that is the correct report for this. You just set the start date 
and end date.

You COULD play around with selection of accounts (here you want JUST 
certain accounts of type expense and none of type income. However, you 
could just run with the default of all (income and expense) accounts, 
export that, then delete what you don't need to send the accountant. The 
advantage is if there were any changes to the CoA during the year that 
would be missed by a saved report (account selection saved; dates will 
always need to be changed). You might not remember to change/resave the 
report to reflect account changes you made six months earlier.
