Reports

The reports and what they count.

  • Income statement, with loan principal shown as equity conversion.
  • Balance sheet.
  • Spending by category.
  • Cash on Hand over time, and a cash flow bridge between two days.
  • Receivables activity.

Every report counts every transaction, voided ones and their reversals included, as hledger’s balance reports do. Income and equity, which hledger keeps negative, are shown positive and neutral. Amounts are coloured by sign.

kabacus-cli report prints the same reports, and MCP clients can ask for them.

Choose the report for the question

Where did spending go?Spending by category.

Check the period and as-of date before comparing reports. Future-dated transactions affect balances from their date onward. A reversal is included alongside its original; hiding one side would produce a different total.
