Swedish term or phrase: Kundbokslut
I am translating a text for a software company providing ERP systems and additive solutions. This sentence is difficult: I systemet hanteras kundbokslut bestående av kunduppgifter, jämförelsekriterier och nyckeltalsuppgifter som används för att presentera olika typer av rapporter och jämförelser.

I am having trouble confirming an equivalence for "kundbokslut", a word that I am not familiar with in Swedish either even though I have studied accounting a little. At first, I was thinking that it had something to do with closing accounts receivable, but it does not seem so. I have only found one explanation of it that did not mean having to read through big PSF-files. This one: Det första jag gör är att se över den ekonomiska situationen (det ekonomiska bokslutet), sedan kollar jag hur relationen är till kunderna (kundbokslutet).

client's state of account
Explanation:
A state rather than closing statement of account *taken* on close of business, only to chime with the economic counterpart cf. 'liquidation (settling and squaring-up) of accounts' in Romance languages.


*Det första jag gör är att se över den ekonomiska situationen (det ekonomiska bokslutet > economic state of a/c), sedan kollar jag hur relationen är till kunderna (kundbokslutet) > client's state /closing statement/ of account.*

Hello Sophie.

Not my department either. Is it possible that they mean financial statement(s)?

Note to reference poster
Asker: Årsredovisning/financial statements are for the whole company. This has something to do with individual customers. And they write about financial statements earlier as well. So I don't think so, unfortunately. But thank you anyway :)
