Thanks for all the input. 
I am aware that both TB and Balance sheet are snapshots on a particular date 
and of the respective uses of both of them. Personally I’m happy with the TB 
report and I do it periodically throughout the year. I guess my reason for 
asking was only because my accountant had asked specifically for a TB covering 
only the financial year that they were auditing the accounts for. 

The TB report options are misleading as it does offer a date range. Maybe the 
only solution to keeping my accountant happy is to close the books each year 
(although according to the GNUCash manual this isn’t necessary).

The zero balances I was referring to were more to do with accounts that I just 
don’t use. So the take home for me is that I need to clean up my account tree!

Thanks everyone, appreciate the input and support. 
Cheers.
