Financial Reports

Generate Trial Balance, Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow reports.

The Reports page lets you generate the four main financial statements — Trial Balance, Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow — for any date range.

Financial Reports

Choosing a report

The page is organised into four tabs, each generating a different financial statement. Click a tab to switch between them.

Report	What it shows
Trial Balance	A listing of every account with its debit or credit balance. Used to verify that your books are balanced.
Profit & Loss	Revenue minus expenses over a period, showing whether your business made a profit or a loss.
Balance Sheet	A snapshot of what your business owns (assets), owes (liabilities), and the owner's equity at a point in time.
Cash Flow	How cash moved in and out of your business — broken down by operating, investing, and financing activities.

Click the Generate button. The report is calculated from your posted journal entries and displayed below.

Trial Balance

The Trial Balance lists every account that has a balance, showing:

Code — The account code
Account — The account name
Debit — The total debit balance (if the account has a net debit)
Credit — The total credit balance (if the account has a net credit)

At the bottom, the total debits and total credits are shown. If they are equal, a message confirms your books are balanced. If they differ, a warning appears with the variance amount.

When to use

Run a Trial Balance before generating other reports to check that your books are in order. An unbalanced Trial Balance indicates a posting error that needs investigating.

Profit & Loss

The Profit & Loss statement (also called an Income Statement) shows your financial performance over a period. It is structured as:

Revenue — All income lines, with a total
Cost of Goods Sold — Direct costs, with a total
Gross Profit — Revenue minus Cost of Goods Sold
Operating Expenses — Indirect costs like rent, wages, and utilities
Operating Profit — Gross Profit minus Operating Expenses
Other Income / Other Expenses — Non-operating items (if any)
Net Profit — The final bottom line, displayed in green (profit) or red (loss)

Each section lists the individual accounts with their amounts, followed by a section total.

Balance Sheet

The Balance Sheet shows your financial position at a specific point in time. It is structured as:

Assets — Everything your business owns, listed by account with amounts and a total
Liabilities — Everything your business owes, listed by account with amounts and a total
Equity — The owner's stake, listed by account with amounts and a total

At the bottom, the system checks that Assets equals Liabilities plus Equity. If the balance sheet balances, a confirmation message appears. If there is a variance, it is displayed so you can investigate.

Cash Flow

The Cash Flow statement shows how cash moved during the period, split into three categories:

Category	Examples
Operating	Cash from sales, payments to suppliers, wages, rent
Investing	Purchases or sales of equipment, property, or other long-term assets
Financing	Loans received or repaid, owner's capital introduced or withdrawn

Each category shows its total, and the final Net Cash Flow is the sum of all three — displayed in green (positive) or red (negative).

Tips for reporting

Reports only include posted journal entries — drafts and reversed entries are excluded
For year-end accounts, set the date range to your full financial year
Compare reports across different periods to spot trends
Use the Trial Balance regularly to catch errors early, before they compound
