Financial statements

The Accounts menu has three statements built from your books: the Balance Sheet, the Trial Balance and the Cash Flow statement. Each can be exported to CSV or PDF, and every account line opens its ledger.

Balance sheet#

Your financial position on a date: assets on one side, liabilities and equity on the other.

• As of Date — the date to report at (today by default).
• Compare To — none, previous month end, previous quarter end or previous year end, shown in a second column.
• Current Period Earnings — revenue less expenses to date, shown under Equity because year-end closing entries are not posted.

If the two sides differ, a red Out of Balance banner shows the difference.

Accounts that reduce their section are shown as negative amounts: Accumulated Depreciation under assets, and Sales Returns & Allowances and Discounts Given, which are taken off revenue in Current Period Earnings.

Trial balance#

Every account's debits and credits for a period, to check that the books balance.

• Date Range — This Month, This Quarter, This Year or Custom.
• Show zero balances — include accounts with no movement.
• The cards at the top show Total Debits, Total Credits and the Difference, marked Balanced when it is zero.

Cash flow#

Where cash came from and where it went during a period, by the direct method: operating, investing and financing activities, and the reconciliation from opening to closing cash.

Each line is placed by its account's cash-flow category. Movements against accounts categorised as None — such as Owner's Equity — are left out and show as a reconciliation difference, so give accounts a category if you want them included.
