| Profit and loss | Income, cost of goods and expenses for a period, with gross profit |
| Balance sheet | What the company owns and owes on a day, and its equity |
| Trial balance | Every account's balance on a day; debits equal credits |
| General ledger | Every line on every account in a period |
| Accounting transactions | Every entry in a period |
| Your stake | What you put in, took out, and the company is worth |
