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 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).
(This report is essentially similar to “hledger balance –historical assets liabilities”, with liabilities sign-flipped.)
Example:
$ hledger balancesheet
Balance Sheet
Assets:
$-1 assets
$1 bank:saving
$-2 cash
--------------------
$-1
Liabilities:
$1 liabilities:debts
--------------------
$1
Total:
--------------------
0
With a reporting interval, multiple
columns will be shown, one for each report period. As with multicolumn balance reports, you
can alter the report mode with
--change/--cumulative/--historical.
Normally balancesheet shows historical ending balances, which is what
you need for a balance sheet; note this means it ignores report begin
dates (and -T/--row-total, since summing end balances
generally does not make sense). Instead of absolute values percentages can be displayed with
-%.
This command also supports the output destination and output format options The output
formats supported are txt, csv,
html, and (experimental) json.
