Reports Overview

LedgerBuk gives you four financial reports to help you understand your business — where the money is, whether you’re profitable, and where the cash is going.

The Three Financial Pillars

Every well-run business needs three core reports. Together they give a complete picture of financial health:

Pillar	Report	What it tells you
1	Balance Sheet	What you own and what you owe — your financial position right now
2	Statement of Profit or Loss	Whether you made or lost money over a period
3	Cash Flow Statement	Where your cash actually went (because profit ≠ cash)

The Trial Balance sits alongside these three as an accuracy check — it confirms your books are in balance before you generate the financial reports.

How the Reports Connect

1. Check the Trial Balance first

   This confirms your books are balanced and accurate — a quick sanity check before running the bigger reports.

2. Generate the Balance Sheet

   See what your business owns (cash, receivables, equipment) vs. what it owes (payables, loans) at a specific date.

3. Generate the Statement of Profit or Loss

   See your revenue and expenses over a period. The bottom line — profit or loss — tells you if the business earned or spent more.

4. Generate the Cash Flow Statement

   Profit doesn’t always mean cash in the bank. This report shows where cash actually moved — from daily operations, buying equipment, or loans.

5. At Period Close, profit moves to the Balance Sheet

   When you close a period, the profit (or loss) transfers into your Retained Earnings on the Balance Sheet. This keeps everything in sync.

Tip

Run the Trial Balance first to catch any errors before generating your financial reports.
