Trial Balance

Quick Answer: Trial Balance

The Trial Balance proves debits equal credits as of any date—a checkpoint CPAs and bookkeepers run before signing off on month-end. Filter by fund, scan out-of-balance accounts, and export the listing your auditor requests. AlignMint pulls live balances from the general ledger so the trial balance always matches posted journal entries.

This report is not an open tile on the live Reports hub today. Run Balance Sheet and Income Statement for close, and use this page as the conceptual guide when your CPA asks for a trial balance listing. Parent-organization close workflows still live in Month-End Close Checklist.

Good to Know

When the Reports hub tile is open, you will run this as-of the last day of the month before posting close entries, filter by fund when a restricted account looks wrong, and export a spreadsheet for your external accountant. Until then, prove the books with General Ledger and the live statements above.
