Theory: asset and expense accounts are debit balance accounts that typically carry a positive balance. Liabilities, equity and revenue accounts are credit balance accounts and are displayed as negative.

FENXT: a credit balance account will display as a positive number even though the balance is negative. When reconciling and analyzing specific GL accounts, the user must consider how the GL account was setup to discern if the balance is truly a positive or negative amount. I have worked in several accounting systems and have never seen this method of displaying account balance information before. This adds extra work in the reconciliation process due to how the account balance information is displayed.

My suggestion: if FENXT would like to continue offering this feature, the user would be able to toggle the feature in settings between as it is now and displaying the account balances as their true balance, whether positive or negative.
