"Simpler than that would be to use the income statement to identify all the bits and pieces, and when asked for specific questions, to produce listings of transactions they require."yes, that's what i am planning to do. I've asked what exactly CPA needs and he said profit/loss sheet, trial balance, balance sheet - i can generate and send him those.
As an alternative idea (i would like for him to be able to check/play with report if needed) i can make the tunnel so he can access/see what i see in FAVA on my "localhost".

I am using beancount for 7 months and i love it! I have all needed data in front of me and feel in control, but now i use it only as internal tool. Basically it's only for me. I have all my account together in 1 big file (2 companies, personal, etc) and it words good for my needs.
But data from my beancount is not utilized by my accounting, basically they enter/categorize all transactions themselves and than prepare tax return.
I was thinking why pay for work that i've already done and why not provide them with ready sheets. What discourages me a little is any time i hear that someone shares his "ledger" with CPA they are taking about quickbooks, xero, etc. But never plain text accounting tools.
Do any of you guys use beancount to work with your CPA/tax professional? If yes, any tips you can provide? Or do you use it more a internal tool too?
