Understand the account transactions report

The account transactions report lists details of all transactions for each account in your Chart of Accounts. This is the main report for all financial activity, grouped by account. Each transaction is recorded in two accounts: where the money came from, and where it’s going. This ensures that your books are always in balance.

Use this report to review your financial activity, account balances, and transaction history during a selected time period.

On your account transactions report, you can view the:

  • Account name and where the account can be found in your Chart of Accounts
  • Starting and ending balances for the selected date range
  • Transactions within the account for the selected date range
  • Debit or credit amounts of each transaction
  • Total debit and credit balances for each account
  • Balance change between the starting and ending balances

To view more details about a specific transaction, click the transaction. This opens the transaction edit view on the Transactions page, or the associated bill or invoice.
