+1 for this as a feature request built into beancount. I would be willing to help in the development of this feature too.
One of the ways I thought this could be done is in fava and actually it looks like it has already have been done to a basic level. There is a fava option fiscal-year-end https://github.com/beancount/fava/blob/master/fava/help/options.md#fiscal-year-end . I've given it a quick test and it seems to only work in the time filter box of fava and not in the BQL queries but I could I stand to be corrected. Jakub.
