Fiscal year & quarter
Find the year and quarter boundaries for a fiscal year starting in a chosen month.
A clear answer. Here’s how.
The fiscal year starts on day 1 of your chosen month and consists of four consecutive three-calendar-month quarters. Labels both starting and ending calendar years explicitly. Reports inclusive boundaries and day position. Does not apply 4-4-5 retail calendars or infer an organisation’s naming convention.
