balancesheet, bs\
This command displays a balance sheet, showing historical ending
balances of asset and liability accounts. (To see equity as well,
use the [balancesheetequity](#balancesheetequity) command.)
Amounts are shown with normal positive sign, as in conventional
financial statements.

_FLAGS

The asset and liability accounts shown are those accounts declared
with the `Asset` or `Cash` or `Liability` type, or otherwise all
accounts under a top-level `asset` or `liability` account (case
insensitive, plurals allowed).

Example:

```shell
$ hledger balancesheet
Balance Sheet

Assets:
                 $-1  assets
                  $1    bank:saving
                 $-2    cash
--------------------
                 $-1

Liabilities:
                  $1  liabilities:debts
--------------------
                  $1

Total:
--------------------
                   0
```

This command is a higher-level variant of the [`balance`](#balance) command,
and supports many of that command's features, such as multi-period reports.
It is similar to `hledger balance -H assets liabilities`,
but with smarter account detection, and liabilities displayed with
their sign flipped.

This command also supports the
[output destination](hledger.html#output-destination) and
[output format](hledger.html#output-format) options
The output formats supported are
`txt`, `csv`, `html`, and (experimental) `json`.
