Why does QuickBooks Online Trial Balance not reflect the Unrealized Gain or Loss account but in Profit and Loss it exists?

Hey there Mark001,

It's always a pleasure to see new faces in the Community, Welcome! QuickBooks Online is a great tool designed to help keep your books balanced. I would be happy to provide some information.

The Trial balance report lists the closing balances of the general ledger accounts. The following reports display information about unrealised gains or losses:

Profit and Loss report
Balance sheet
Customer Balance Detail report
Supplier Balance Detail report
Statement of Cash Flows

If you have any other questions, feel free to reach back out to us.

Sorry to interject, but I think that the fact that the TB does not post the unrealised gains/losses is shambolic. How can we as accountants post closing balance journals to the TB on revalued foreign currency debtors/creditors/bank? My TB as at the balance sheet date needs to align to the submitted financial statements. Having to go to the P&L and balance sheet separately to make these checks is truly bizarre. I have no idea if the opening balances will be ok in the following year.
