Perhaps a Balance Sheet would help?

A Balance Sheet will only show the "standing accounts" (fundamental types Asset, Liability, Equity). It will not show the "temporary" accounts of type Income and Expense (the NET of those shows up as a virtual account "retained" (gains or losses). The way most of us use gnucash we never do a "close the books" operation so that "temporary" is misleading.

Keep mind, back in the old days, PHYSICAL books. Closing the old books and opening new usually meant a new PHYSICAL book. But often, when keeping the books for an entity with low volume of transaction, far less than a small bound volume would hold, just resumed after a couple intentionally blank pages. LESS FORMAL (no legal need) I used "loose leaf", but "for real" the bound books better as harder to alter without detection.

PS --- Have you considered the Trial Balance report if you need a report showing all accounts
