Trial balance

The trial balance (Accountant mode) lists every account with a balance as of a date, in two columns — debit and credit — and confirms that the two totals are equal.

The Trial Balance with account codes, debit and credit columns and the Balanced badge
  • Asset and expense accounts normally show debit balances; liability, equity and revenue accounts show credit balances.
  • The Balanced badge means total debits equal total credits, to the nearest minor unit of your currency. It is guaranteed by the way OneBooks posts: every entry balances, so their sum does too.
  • Use it at a migration date to compare with your previous system, and at period end before closing.

PDF and Excel exports include the as-of date and the balanced check. See Exporting and printing reports.
