Trial Balance and General Ledger

The Trial Balance lists every account's balance to prove your debits equal your credits. The General Ledger shows every entry behind those balances.

Trial Balance

Go to Reports → Trial Balance. Accounts are grouped by type (Asset, Liability, Equity, Revenue, Expense) with their balance for the period. Your accountant will often ask for this report first.
