Companys Financial Statement and balance sheet - Need help

MinaN

Hello,

Thank you in advance for your help.

I'm currently facing some challenges with the balance sheet and income statement sections.

I have three tables:

  1. TB
  2. Journal Listing
  3. Chart of Accounts

I joined the TB and Journal Listing tables, resulting in approximately 350 entities with both primary and secondary ledgers. The output columns after joining TB and Journal Listing are:

  • company_code
  • account_code
  • account_description
  • beginning_of_year_balance
  • debits
  • credits
  • end_of_year_balance
  • ledger_name
  • period_name
  • period_set_name
  • cost_center_code

Next, I joined this result with the Chart of Accounts table, which contains:

  • account_code
  • sub_account_code
  • description
  • level

This helps map the GL accounts as follows:

  • 1000: Asset
    • 1100: Current Asset
    • 1200: Non-Current Asset
  • 2000: Liability
    • 2100: Current Liability
    • 2600: Non-Current Liability
  • 3000: Equity
  • 4000: Revenue
  • 5000: Cost of Revenue
  • 6000: Operating Expense etc.

I need to automate the balance sheet and income statement for YTD, MTD, and QTD.

 

Could someone please provide an example or guidance?

Hi @MinaN! Could you provide a workflow with some dummy data so I can understand better. I couldn't understand what your end goal is.

as @Luke_C points out - this is really reliant on your business. Bucketing things for balance sheets is one thing - but income statements are really reliant upon your specific business and your specific accounting. Feed things to a spreadsheet/Workiva for an income statement - sure. Generate an income statement in Alteryx - no. that is not what it is for.
