Hello,
We currently use Digita for our year end accounts and management reports. We currently take the information from sage, freeagent, wherever the client or we prepare the books and import the trial balance. We use a standard report in Digita Accounts Production for the management accounts which all our clients seem to like. We have edited the reports they do look good, we add all the usual notes you would expect from a full year end set of accounts and also graphs and analytical details you would want from a management point of view. However since we have updated to Digita Advanced they do not support management accounts and we refuse to enter the data twice once in Accounts production standard and once in Accounts Production Advanced. We are not looking to leave the whole accounting package but need some software that will assist with detailed, good looking management accounts. I know I could do it on excel but there must be a software provider who can take a TB and give a set of monthly / 1/4ly management accounts that can be easily tailored to show detailed P+L, Balance sheet, Notes and graphical analysis.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Import
Does the "lesser" Digita product have a CSV import functionality? That might be a way.
Managemen accounts
I use CCH accounts production for bookkeeping which leads straight into final accounts. I don't actually do any management accounts but I do know that there is a tab for this in the final accounts production screen, so maybe this will do what you want.
If you are going to import data into this new software, produce management accs and then export to csv (to then import into digita) then what's the difference between importing into old digita, working on it, exporting to csv then importing into new digita?
In fact at least the digita codes should be the same so less mapping - since you've said that you are happy with the existing management accs output.
Why Dont you
Do it in the source software like Xero and Freeagent and use their management reporting or a product like spotlight reporting as an add on to get you what you want.
That way any amends are dealt with in the source data so always matches.
