Balance Sheet
View your client's assets, liabilities, and equity as of a specific date.
Accessing the report
Go to Accounting → Balance Sheet. The report defaults to Last year, Total only. Use the date picker to view balances as of any date, and the entity dropdown to filter by entity.
The date picker includes presets for common ranges: this/last month, this/last quarter, this/last year, month/quarter/year-to-date, last 12 months, and last 30/60/90 days.
Report structure
The Balance Sheet is organized by account type and subtype from your Chart of Accounts:
Assets — Current Assets (cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses) and Non-Current Assets (fixed assets, long-term investments)
Liabilities — Current Liabilities (credit cards, accounts payable, current loan portions) and Non-Current Liabilities (long-term debt)
Equity — Share Capital, Investments, Distributions, Retained earnings
Use Expand and Collapse to control how much detail is visible. Click any account to drill into the individual transactions and journal entries that make up the balance — this navigates to the General Ledger with filters pre-populated for that account and date range.
Filters
Click Add filter to narrow the report. Available filters:
Class — Filter by class or subclass
Counterparty — Filter by vendor or customer
Active filters appear as removable chips below the toolbar. Click Clear all to reset.
Columns
Use the column selector to control how the report is broken down:
Total only — Single total column (default)
By month / By quarter / By year — Period-based breakdown
By entity — One column per entity
By class / By subclass — One column per class or subclass
Comparisons
Open the Compare dropdown to add comparison columns.
Compare to
Previous period (PP) — Compare to the prior equivalent period
Previous year (PY) — Compare to the same period in the prior year
Variance
Percentage (%) — Show the percentage change between periods
Amount ($) — Show the dollar change between periods
You can combine multiple options — for example, enabling both % variance and Previous year (PY) adds columns for each.
Drilling down
Click any line item to drill into the General Ledger filtered to that account and date range. From there you can see the individual transactions and journal entries behind the balance.
Ledger basis
If your client has both cash and accrual ledgers configured, use the ledger basis dropdown to switch between Cash and Accrual. The selected basis is shown in the report footer.
Export
Export the Balance Sheet as .xlsx or .pdf from the download menu in the top right.
Creating journal entries
Click Create journal entry in the top right (or ⌥+N) to record adjustments directly from the report.
