Hi Christopher H, 

Thanks for reaching out! Are you planning on recording payments to any vendor / supplier invoices using Sage Accounting US? If so, then a bank account may be required for your company database setup. The setup wizard should guide you. It may be possible to select a "cash" account instead. 

As for your second question, it's only advisable to print off year end reports if you have payroll and remittances to account for. You may want to print off any financial statements for the year, this is up to you. Here's a Financial Year End Checklist.

Warm Regards, 
Erzsi
