Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between for-profit and nonprofit balance sheets?
For-profit balance sheets show owner's equity (retained earnings, capital). Nonprofit balance sheets show net assets (unrestricted, temporarily restricted, permanently restricted). Our tool handles both formats.
What is Current Ratio?
Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities. It measures your ability to pay short-term obligations. A ratio above 1.0 means you have more current assets than current liabilities.
Can I add custom categories?
Yes — add custom line items in every section (assets, liabilities, equity/net assets). Name them whatever fits your chart of accounts.

Yes — completely free. No signup, no limits, no watermarks. Create as many balance sheets as you need.
