Solution

hledger balancesheet — Show the end balances in asset and liability accounts. Amounts are shown with normal positive sign, as in conventional financial statements. More information: <https://hledger.org/hledger.html#balancesheet>.

Show the current balances in Asset and Liability accounts, excluding zeros:

hledger {{[bs|balancesheet]}}

Show just the liquid assets (Cash account type):

hledger {{[bs|balancesheet]}} type:C

Include accounts with zero balances, and show the account hierarchy:

hledger {{[bs|balancesheet]}} {{[-E|--empty]}} {{[-t|--tree]}}

Show the balances at the end of each month:

hledger {{[bs|balancesheet]}} {{[-M|--monthly]}}

Show the balances' market value in home currency at the end of each month:

hledger {{[bs|balancesheet]}} {{[-M|--monthly]}} {{[-V|--market]}}

Show quarterly balances, with just the top two levels of account hierarchy:

hledger {{[bs|balancesheet]}} {{[-Qt|--quarterly --tree]}} {{[-2|--depth 2]}}

Same as above, and generate HTML output in bs.html:

hledger {{[bs|balancesheet]}} {{[-Qt|--quarterly --tree]}} {{[-2|--depth 2]}} {{[-o|--output-file]}} bs.html
