# Reports home: find the report you need

Reports turn your books into answers: how much you made, what you own and owe, where the cash went, who owes you money. Every report is ready-made and updates as your transactions come in, so there's nothing to build before you can read one.

This article helps you pick the right report and find it on the Reports home.

## Reports at a glance

### Where to find it

Click **Reports** in the left sidebar. You land on the Reports home, which lists every report. Opening a report replaces the home with that report, and **All reports** at the top takes you back.

### The reports, by group

| Group | Reports |
| ---- | ---- |
| Financial statements | Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet, Statement of Cash Flow, Expense Categories, Revenue by Client, Profit & Loss by Class, Year-End Summary |
| Multi-entity | Consolidated Profit & Loss, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Consolidated Receivables, Consolidated Payables |
| Year-end & 1099 | Tax Ready Report, 1099 Vendors |
| Detailed | General Ledger, Trial Balance, Receivables Aging, Payables Aging |
| Banking | Reconciliation Report |

### Which report answers which question

| If you want to know | Open |
| ---- | ---- |
| Did I make money? | Profit & Loss |
| What do I own and owe today? | Balance Sheet |
| Why did my cash go up or down? | Statement of Cash Flow |
| Where is the money going? | Expense Categories |

| Which client or project is profitable? | Profit & Loss by Class |
| Who owes me, and how late are they? | Receivables Aging |
| What do I owe, and what's overdue? | Payables Aging |
| What does my accountant need at year end? | Tax Ready Report, 1099 Vendors, Trial Balance, General Ledger |

## The Reports home

### Tour of the page

![The top of the Reports home. The numbers match the list below.](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/8/a/f/c/8afcc30bafd4b000/01-reports-home_vkqumh.png)

1. **Ask box.** Ask Tabby Talk for any report in plain words.
2. **Suggested questions.** Ready-made requests you can send with one click.

### Most used

The three cards show this month's net profit, your equity as of today and this month's net change in cash. Each card has a trend line, the change against the prior period and two supporting figures.

### Recently viewed

Once you've opened a few reports, a **Recently viewed** row appears under the cards with your last five. Click one to go straight back to it.

### Saved reports

A saved report keeps the report, date range and settings you picked. Each row shows its name, what it's based on, whether it's emailed on a schedule and when it last ran or was sent.

![Two saved reports are emailed on a schedule. One is run by hand.](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/8/a/f/c/8afcc30bafd4b000/04-saved-reports_17ncvla.png)

Click a saved report to open it with its settings applied. Point at a row and click the trash icon to remove it. To create one, see **Save a report** (in the article "Read, adjust, save and export a report").

### Find a report

Scroll to **All reports**.

![Every report, grouped by type.](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/8/a/f/c/8afcc30bafd4b000/05-all-reports_1s70yaw.png)

Press `Enter` in the search box to open the first match.

### Ask Tabby Talk for a report

Type a request in the ask box, such as "profit and loss for Q2 compared to last year", and press `Enter`. Tabby Talk opens with your request. The chips under the box do the same with one click: **This quarter vs last**, **Top 5 expenses this year**, **Who owes me money?** and **Prepare tax-ready report**.

If your search finds nothing, Tabby offers to build the report for you.
