Wondering if your business is profitable? QuickBooks Online Balance Sheet shows cumulative profit — here’s how to check.

- Know the difference: Profit for a period = Net Income on your Profit & Loss. The Balance Sheet shows the cumulative effect (retained earnings/equity).
- In QuickBooks Online: open the Balance Sheet report, set your date range, and compare to a previous period.
- What to look for:
- Retained Earnings (or Net Income/Accumulated Earnings): growth over time means overall profitability.
- Owner’s Equity: rising equity usually means profits are being retained.
- Cash & Current Assets vs. Current Liabilities: profits that convert to cash strengthen financial health; growing assets with stagnant liabilities is a good sign.
- Red flags: declining retained earnings, negative owner’s equity, or shrinking cash despite revenue — signs of losses or cash-flow problems.
- Pro tip: run the Profit & Loss report (Income − Expenses = Net Income) for period checks and use the Balance Sheet to confirm those profits appear in equity and cash.
