Step 1
A closing entry is a journal entry that is made at the end of an accounting period to move balances from temporary to permanent accounts. Businesses use closing entries to zero out the balances of general ledger (accounts that show balances for a single accounting period). As a result, these balances are transferred to account when it comes on the balance sheet. Permanent accounts show a company's long-term financials.
