Krystal,

    Are you sure it's something like the "accounts summary" you want?
    Usually, when what is wanted is a report showing beginning and 
ending balances for a time interval (in this case a year) and that's 
generally just all the "standing accounts" (in other words, the "Balance 
Sheet" report) like Derek says, run twice, once for the start date and 
once for the end date. And to go with that an "Income Statement" (aka 
"Profit and Loss" aka "Revenue Statement" depending on the type of 
entity for which the books are being kept) for that time interval which 
shows all the "temporary accounts" (Income and Expense accounts) for the 
time interval.
