Balance Sheet

Review assets, liabilities, and equity with comparison, 12-month, and common-size views.

The Balance Sheet page presents a snapshot of your company's financial position -- what it owns (assets), what it owes (liabilities), and the residual value belonging to owners (equity). It shares the same view modes, date controls, and table features as the Income Statement.

Account Structure

In standardized mode, accounts are organized into a hierarchical structure:

Assets
- Current Assets (cash, accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses)
- Fixed Assets (property, equipment, accumulated depreciation)
- Other Assets
Liabilities
- Current Liabilities (accounts payable, short-term debt, accrued expenses)
- Long-Term Liabilities (long-term debt, deferred revenue)
Equity (retained earnings, owner's equity, contributed capital)
Total Liabilities + Equity (balancing line)

Switch to "No Standardized" to see accounts exactly as they appear in your chart of accounts.

View Modes

Four modes are available:

Comparison

Shows two selected months side by side. Columns include the current month value, comparison month value, dollar change, and percentage change. Each month is selected independently using single-month pickers.

12-Month

Displays a rolling 12-month window with one column per month. Use the window navigator to shift the window and the date order toggle to switch between newest-first and oldest-first.

Granularity

When viewing the 12-Month or Common-Size (12-Month) mode, a granularity selector appears in the toolbar. Use it to control how date columns are grouped. Four options are available:

Monthly -- the default. Each column represents a single month.
Quarterly -- columns are grouped by calendar quarter.
Yearly -- columns are grouped by calendar year.
Combined -- the entire selected date range is collapsed into a single column.

To change the granularity:

Switch to the 12-Month or Common-Size (12-Month) view.
Locate the granularity dropdown in the toolbar.
Select Monthly, Quarterly, Yearly, or Combined.

The granularity selector is not available in Comparison or Common-Size (Comparison) modes.

Common-Size (Comparison)

Shows each line item as a percentage of total assets for two months.

Common-Size (12-Month)

Combines the rolling 12-month view with common-size percentages. The granularity selector is available in this mode -- you can group columns by month, quarter, year, or combined.

Date Selection

Comparison and Common-Size (Comparison) -- two single-month pickers let you choose the primary month and the comparison month independently. Defaults are the most recent closed month and the month before it.
12-Month and Common-Size (12-Month) -- a window navigator controls the end month of the rolling 12-month range.

Table Features

The balance sheet table supports the same features as the Income Statement:

Expandable row hierarchy with plus/minus buttons
Expand level selector (Level 1 through Level 5) in standardized mode
Search to filter accounts by name while preserving the hierarchy path
Cell highlighting on hover
Detail modal for drilling into specific line items (click the expand icon)
Density toggle for row spacing

Chart View

Toggle to chart view to see a visual representation of the balance sheet data. The chart adapts to the active mode (comparison or 12-month).

Understanding the Balance Sheet

The fundamental accounting equation applies: Assets = Liabilities + Equity. The "Total Liabilities + Equity" row should always equal the "Total Assets" row. Any discrepancy may indicate data quality issues that should be investigated.

Review the balance sheet alongside the Income Statement and Cash Flow Statement to see both earnings performance and liquidity in context.

Income Statement -- revenue and expense analysis
Cash Flow Statement -- cash movement tracking
KPIs and Financial Ratios -- ratios derived from balance sheet data
