Ledger

Value In vs Value Out.

If more is coming in than going out the business should be healthy.

A general ledger is a simple listing of your actual income and expenses. Unlike a budget sheet that lists your expected income and expenses, or a receivables or payables report that shows what you owe or are owed, a ledger records transactions only as they happen. Even if you have only one bank account you use for your business, it is a good idea to keep a general ledger to spot any mistakes you or your bank might make. Do this by performing a monthly reconciliation, or comparison of your ledger to your bank statement
