The Trial Balance Object
A trial balance is a list of all the general ledger accounts contained in the ledger of a business. This list will contain the name of each nominal ledger account and the value of that nominal ledger balance.
From the Trial Balances endpoint, you can retrieve a business's cash or accrual-based trial balance at a single point in time since inception.
All trial balances are part of an array of reports. See Reports data type for more details on the report structure and its meta-data.
