    Statements your accountant can use

    When your accountant or a tax form asks what you earned and what you were paid, you can now download a statement from the Earnings page in Aegis. It comes as a PDF to hand over or a CSV for a spreadsheet, with each month, every payment, the fees and the totals.

  • A report page with an orange Export button and an open menu offering two CSV files, a clock beside the line under the title, and a lightning bolt in an orange ring
