Just send him a trial balance AND the income statement and balance sheet. The "closed books" trial balance he wants is going to look similar to the balance sheet plus income statement stacked anyway, just without totals. The trial balance will let him see that nothing from the other two reports is missing.

Alternatively, you can put the Dec 31 2021 and Dec 31 2022 balance sheets next to each other and just take the difference between the income statement items as the amounts to display, then reverse the total of those to equity, but that is probably more trouble than it's worth.

Thanks for that.
I gotta have a serious talk with my accountant. He objected to the report
and it sent me wondering.

Per the documentation:


10.3.5.11. Trial Balance


Trial Balance lists the ending balances in all accounts as of a particular
date. It is typically run at the end of an accounting period and is
primarily used to ensure that the total of all debits equals the total of
all credits.


By definition, that means there *isn't* a start date.
