Trial Balance

Real-time proof that every debit and credit in the books balances.

What it does

A real-time report proving that total debits equal total credits across the entire chart of accounts — the core sanity check of double-entry bookkeeping.

Why it matters

If the books don't balance, nothing downstream (P&L, Balance Sheet) can be trusted — this is the fastest way to confirm they do.

How to use it

  1. Open Trial Balance from Bookkeeping.
  2. Review each account's debit/credit total for the selected period.
  3. Confirm the totals at the bottom net to zero.

Main buttons and actions

  • Change period
  • Drill into an account's ledger

Example workflow

  1. Generated automatically from the Journal — no manual entry.
  2. Check it at period close before relying on the financial statements for that period.
