Where to find Club Finance reports

You can run financial reports by going to Reports and selecting the report you need from the Club Finance section.

Report visibility depends on permissions

Each Club Finance report has its own permission tied to visibility. That means a staff member may see some finance reports but not others, even if they can access the Reports area.

If you cannot find a report listed below:

  • Confirm your role includes Reports access

  • Confirm you have the specific permission for that individual report

Tip: If you are setting up a bookkeeper role, use the minimum finance permissions guidance in the “Introduction to club financials in Sprocket” article.

Choose the right report based on your accounting method

Start by confirming whether your club is cash-basis or accrual-basis:

  • Accrual-basis clubs typically use Revenue Transactions for Accrual Clubs (RTAC) for revenue reporting

  • Cash-basis clubs typically use Revenue Transactions for Cash Clubs (RTCC) for revenue reporting

If you are unsure which method your club uses, check Club > Settings or reach out to your Client Success Team.
