First of all, it is very difficult to balance books. If you are out of balance, I recommend printing out a copy of your bank accounts and investment accounts and go line by line to make sure every penny was accounted. If everything is there and you are still missing $5500, you'll need to think back where this went. Ask your business partner. What could account for this difference? Maybe you withdrew $5500 or some of it was used for something else? Was there a purchase that you made in cash?
