Frequently Asked Questions
Does it always tie?
Yes — by construction. The trial balance equals zero net (sum of debits = sum of credits) at all times.
Can I drill into transactions?
Yes — click any GL account to see the underlying journals; click a journal to see the source transaction.
Excel export?
Yes — exports to XLSX with debit/credit columns per account.
