Just send him a trial balance AND the income statement and balance 
sheet.  The "closed books" trial balance he wants is going to look 
similar to the balance sheet plus income statement stacked anyway, just 
without totals.
The trial balance will let him see that nothing from the other two 
reports is missing.

Alternatively, you can put the Dec 31 2021 and Dec 31 2022 balance 
sheets next to each other and just take the difference between the 
income statement items as the amounts to display, then reverse the total 
of those to equity, but that is probably more trouble than it's worth.
