Balancing Your Books

As you make entries in Brass Jacks Bookkeeper, it automatically enters transactions in its behind-the-scenes balance sheet. To make sure your books are balanced and accurate, you can view the interactive trial balance or run a general-ledger report.

To view the interactive trial balance:

• Choose Accounting > View Interactive Trial Balance.

You can make adjustments to the balance by making journal entries. If you’re not comfortable with accounting and journal entries, this is a task that should be given to your accountant.

To view your general ledger:

1. Choose Reports > All Reports and Forms.
2. In the Report Manager dialog box, click the Financial arrow.
3. Then click the View button for General Ledger.

For more information about using the Report Manager dialog box, see Viewing the Report Listing.
