Reports
Running reports
Which report answers which question, and how to change dates, basis and export.
Open Reports and pick one. Most reports let you change the date range, switch between Accrual and Cash basis, Export CSV and Print.
Accrual counts income when you invoice and expenses when you're billed. Cash counts them when money actually moves. Your tax return may use either — ask your accountant.
Which report?
How much did I make? → Profit & Loss (also by class and by location).
What do I own and owe? → Balance Sheet.
Do my books balance / what's in every account? → Trial Balance.
Where did the cash go? → Statement of Cash Flows.
Who owes me? → A/R Aging. Who do I owe? → A/P Aging.
Every transaction in every account → General Ledger.
Sales by customer, expenses by vendor, inventory valuation, sales tax liability, 1099 contractors, budget vs. actuals, and contact and product lists are there too. Build your own with the custom report builder.
