If you run a limited company business, then where can you find your retained earnings in your financial statements?
It is on your Balance Sheet, sometimes known as the Statement of Financial Position under the equity section. Here in the UK, this is often called Capital & Reserves, and retained earnings can also be known as the profit & loss account – confusing, yes! Welcome to jargon infested language of accounting and tax!

Nonetheless, retained earnings explained is a vital key metric that any business owner or finance expert should measure and be aware of. It's not optimal to have excessive retained earnings and it certainly does not make your situation easy if your retained earnings explained is less than optimal.
