In addition to above I will give you more information about step to finalisation of Sole proprietorship .

1) After preparation of Trail balance , you find out which Item goes to Trading Account , profit & Loss Account , & Balance sheet .

2) Then put certain mark in Trail balance , like Item which are suppose to go in Trading Account you Put "T" as mark in Trail balance , "p" for Items In Profit & loss Account , "B" for Balance sheet .

3) As per above mark put items in Trading A/c , Profit & Loss A/c and Balance sheet from Trail Balance .

4) Then mark " A" for year end Adjustment entries in Trail balance

5) Do all year end adjustment entries like given bellow

a) closing Stock

b) Deprecation

c) Outstanding Expenses

d) Advance received

e) Prepaid Expenses

f) Income Accrued but not received

g) Any provision you want make

6) After posting all items from Trail balance , and doing all year end adjustments entries , balance the Trading Account , after balancing either Gross Profit or Loss will transfer to Profit & Loss Account

7) Balance the Profit & Loss Account transfer either profit or loss to Capital account of the Sole proprietor .

8) Any Drawing , personal Income tax paid will transfer to Capital Account

9) After doing all above procedure make total of Asset & Liability side of balance sheet , It must Tally .

But now a days Accounting software's like Tally is available , so you will get ready made Trail balance , Trading Account , profit & Loss Account , Balance sheet Etc , Also if you go though Guidelines of ICAI , according to guidelines , you have to prepare Vertical Profit & Loss Account , and in some cases Accounting Stranded (AS) may applicable while finalising Accounts , So you go through Guidelines of ICAI and prepare accordingly .
