# Journal

> Create and manage journal entries for a business

## Overview

The Journal displays running debits and credits for all accounting transactions. While business owner-operators don't typically access this view, it allows bookkeepers to:

* Review debits/credits in manner that bookkeepers are used to
* Add manual journal entries, which can be required in extreme edge cases
* View a Trial Balance report
