The Balance Sheet is Rundoo's point-in-time snapshot of what your business owns, what it owes, and what's left over for the owners — Assets, Liabilities, and Equity — as of a single date you pick.

In the Admin > Reporting > Balance sheet tab, you pick an as-of-date and click Run. Rundoo walks every journal entry posted on or before that date and totals each account in your Chart of Accounts.

Running the Balance Sheet

The Balance sheet tab opens empty — no report runs by default. You pick the date you want, click Run, and Rundoo totals the ledger. Three steps:

1. Pick the as-of-date on the left of the filter bar. It defaults to Today; click it to change.
2. Click the blue Run button at the right. The report usually returns in a few seconds.
3. Click Refresh to re-pull from the ledger if you've posted transactions since the last run — same date, freshest data.

<aside> 💡

The URL holds the date you picked — ?date=2025-12-31… — so you can bookmark "year-end 2025" as a link and come back to the same snapshot with one click. Handy for month-end close: keep a browser tab open on each reporting date.

Reading the report

The report groups every active account by its Type from the Chart of Accounts, in the standard balance-sheet order: Assets first, then Liabilities, then Equity.

Each section shows one row per account — account number on the left, name in the middle, balance on the right. Negative balances show in parentheses (Rundoo's convention), so ($153,694.53) under Cash drawer means the cash drawer account has a negative balance as of the as-of-date.

At the bottom of each section, Rundoo prints a subtotal — Total Asset, Total Liability, Total Equity. And at the very bottom of the report, Total Liabilities and Equity — the sum that should match Total Asset if your books balance.

The three sections map to the standard accounting categories from the Chart of Accounts:

• Asset accounts — cash, bank accounts, inventory value, accounts receivable, anything you own. Numbers in the 1000s in Rundoo's standard Chart of Accounts.
• Liability accounts — accounts payable, sales tax payable, payroll withholdings, customer deposits — anything you owe. Numbers in the 2000s.
• Equity accounts — retained earnings, owner draws, opening balances — the owner's stake. Numbers in the 3000s.

Income (4000s), COGS (5000s), and Expense (6000s) accounts don't show up here — they're on the Profit & Loss instead. The Balance Sheet is a stocks report (positions at a moment); the P&L is a flows report (movement over a period).
