Balance Sheet

A snapshot of what your business owns, what it owes, and what's left over.

The Balance Sheet gives you a picture of your business's financial position at a specific point in time. Unlike the P&L (which covers a period), the Balance Sheet is a snapshot - it answers the question: what does my business look like right now?

Go to AccountingBalance Sheet.


What you're looking at

The report is organized into three sections:

  • Assets - what the business owns: cash, accounts receivable, equipment, and other holdings

  • Liabilities - what the business owes: credit cards, loans, accounts payable

  • Equity - the net value of the business (assets minus liabilities), including your contributions, distributions, and retained earnings

Assets always equal liabilities plus equity. If they don't, something is miscategorized - your accountant can help diagnose it.


Change the date

Use the date picker to view the balance sheet as of any date. Presets include end of month, quarter, and year.

If you have multiple entities, use the entity dropdown to view a single business or all of them side by side.


Drill into the numbers

Click any account line to see the individual transactions and journal entries that make up that balance. This is useful if a number looks off and you want to understand what's driving it.


Columns and comparisons

Use the column selector to break the report down by month, quarter, year, or entity. Use Compare to show the prior period alongside the current one, with variance amounts or percentages.
