How to balance sheet finalize?

Answer 1

This is rather a long process. When closing the books (preparing your financial statements) for the ending accounting period you want to end with your Balance Sheet.

First you prepare a trial balance, then an adjusted trial balance, finally a post closing trial balance. Note that these are basic, these do not include other statements such as Income Statement, Statement of Retained Earnings, Statement of Owners Equity, to name a few.

After all the statements are are processed, all expense accounts, earning accounts etc, are closed out, then the remaining accounts (Assets, Liabilities, & Owners Equity) accounts are listed on the balance sheet. Remember the Balance sheet will show net profit (or loss) for that company during the financial period.
