Aczen Bilz builds your financial statements automatically from the invoices you raise, the expenses you record, and the journal entries you post. As soon as a transaction is saved, it flows into the underlying accounts — so your P&L, Trial Balance, and Ledgers are always up to date. You can view each statement directly in the app and export a clean PDF or Excel file whenever you need one.

Available statements

The Profit & Loss (P&L) statement shows your revenue, expenses, and net profit for any period you choose. It draws from three sources:
  • Paid invoices — counted as revenue from operations
  • Purchase bills and expenses — counted as operating expenses, broken down by category
  • Journal entries — any additional income or expense lines posted via manual journals

How to access your financial statements

1

Open Financial Statements

In the left sidebar, click Reports & Analytics → Financial Statements. The page opens on the MIS Report tab showing this month versus last month at a glance.
2

Choose a statement type

Use the tab bar at the top to switch between MIS Report, Detailed P&L, Trial Balance, Ledgers, Balance Sheet, Income & Expenditure, Receipts & Payments, and Journal Audit.
3

Set your date range or financial year

For the P&L and comparison reports, select a Start Date and End Date using the date pickers. For the Balance Sheet and formal statements, select a Financial Year (e.g. 2024–25) from the dropdown under the Setup tab.
4

Load the data

Click Load Data or Fetch. Aczen Bilz pulls your invoices, expenses, and journal entries for the period and populates the statement.

Chart of Accounts

All financial statements are built on top of your Chart of Accounts. Every account belongs to one of five types:

Asset

Cash, bank accounts, trade receivables, inventory, fixed assets, and prepaid expenses.

Liability

Trade payables, GST payable, loans, and any amount you owe to others.

Equity

Capital contributed by the owner, retained earnings, and reserves.

Income

Revenue from operations and other income. Credits to these accounts increase income.

Expense

All operating costs. Debits to these accounts increase expense.
To add or edit accounts, go to Accounting → Chart of Accounts. Each account requires a unique code and a name. You can also set an opening balance when you first set up Aczen Bilz so that your historical data carries forward correctly.

Exporting statements

1

Open the statement you want to export

Navigate to the relevant tab — for example, P&L, Trial Balance, or Balance Sheet.
2

Click Export or Download PDF

Each statement has an Export button in the top-right corner. For formal statements (Balance Sheet, I&E, Trial Balance), click Download PDF to generate a print-ready document.
3

Choose your format

Where available, you can choose between PDF and Excel. The PDF is formatted for presentation and sharing. The Excel file contains the raw data in separate sheets (Summary, Monthly Breakdown, Account Breakdown) for further analysis.
4

Save the file

The file downloads to your device immediately. The filename includes your company name and the financial year or date range.
Fill in your company details under Financial Statements → Setup before generating a PDF. The setup fields (company name, PAN, CIN, address, director names) are printed in the header and footer of all formal statements.

Performance ratios

The Ratios tab under Financial Statements calculates key financial indicators from your accounts, invoices, and receivables automatically.
  • Current Ratio — Current Assets ÷ Current Liabilities. A ratio above 1.5 is generally healthy.
  • Quick Ratio — (Current Assets − Inventory) ÷ Current Liabilities. Measures your ability to meet short-term obligations without liquidating stock.
  • Working Capital — Current Assets minus Current Liabilities in absolute rupee terms.
  • Gross Margin — (Revenue − Expenses) ÷ Revenue, expressed as a percentage.
  • Net Margin — Net Profit ÷ Revenue. Shows what portion of each rupee of revenue you keep after all costs.
  • Return on Equity (ROE) — Net Profit ÷ Total Equity.
  • Return on Assets (ROA) — Net Profit ÷ Total Assets.
  • Asset Turnover — Revenue ÷ Total Assets. Higher is better.
  • Receivable Turnover — Revenue ÷ Trade Receivables. Shows how quickly you collect from customers.
  • Payable Turnover — Expenses ÷ Trade Payables.
  • Inventory Turnover — Expenses ÷ Inventory Value.
  • Debt-to-Equity — Total Liabilities ÷ Total Equity. A lower ratio indicates a more conservatively financed business.
Ratio calculations depend on the opening balances and account types set in your Chart of Accounts. If ratios appear incorrect, verify that your bank, receivable, payable, and inventory accounts are assigned the right account types.
