The short answer
The balance sheet in Vacly Accounting is calculated as at a date from validated journal entries. You see assets and liabilities and you can export. It is indicative: it is not an official certificate. The advisor signs the close. Vacly does not homologate and does not file with the AEAT.
Anyone searching for “balance sheet as at a date” usually wants a snapshot for the bank or for management, not filed annual accounts. The work is to see that date from what has already been reviewed, not to sell it as a certificate.
Accounting pricing is on request, according to the modules you contract. 15-day trial. [P&L](/blog/cuenta-perdidas-ganancias-periodo) is the period flow; the balance sheet is the snapshot. Both are indicative.
What is the balance sheet as at a date (and why is it not a certificate)?
It is a working snapshot: assets and liabilities on that date, from what is validated. It is not a document signed before the Register.
- As at a date: you choose the cut-off in [Balance sheet](/producto/contabilidad/balance). It is not a monthly flow.
- Validated journal entries only. An open proposal does not move assets or liabilities.
- Visible, exportable assets and liabilities. The file is working material, not a filing.
- Indicative: it helps management and the firm. It is not an official certificate.
- The advisor signs the close. Vacly does not homologate.
Where does the snapshot come from, and what stays out?
If you count proposals or mix in the bank, the date is a lie.
- Accounts from the [chart](/producto/contabilidad/plan-contable) and [validated](/producto/contabilidad/asientos) lines.
- [Pre-accounting](/producto/contabilidad/precontabilidad) proposes; it does not feed the balance sheet until you validate.
- [P&L](/producto/contabilidad/balance-pyg) looks at the period. The balance sheet looks at the date. They complement each other; they do not replace each other.
- The source document lives in [Invoicing](/producto/facturacion). VAT lives in [Tax](/producto/fiscal). The bank lives in [Banking](/producto/bancos).
- [Closing](/producto/contabilidad/cierres) locks edits. It does not turn this snapshot into a certificate.
What does “indicative, not a certificate” mean?
Some software sells the balance sheet as if it were already filed. This screen does not.
Indicative
It is there to see assets and liabilities as at a date from what has already been reviewed. It is an aid, not a seal.
Not a certificate
It is not an official certificate. We do not sign the balance sheet before the Register or the tax agency.
Exportable
You leave with an assets-and-liabilities file. Exporting does not file and does not deposit.
What is this screen not (and what should it not sell you)?
The balance sheet is not the P&L, the journal or the annual accounts.
- It is not the [period P&L](/blog/cuenta-perdidas-ganancias-periodo). Flow and snapshot are not the same.
- It does not validate [journal entries](/blog/asientos-contables-revision-validacion). It reads them.
- It is not the [close](/blog/cierre-contable-periodo-bloqueo). Locking does not certify.
- It does not file forms. Tax is another screen.
- It does not push to a3, Holded or Sage. [Journal export](/blog/exportar-asientos-programa-contable) is a separate file.
