Renaming "Profit for the Year" on Balance Sheet

QBO automatically generates an equity line item on the balance sheet called "Profit for the Year". However, this line item is not associated with a Chart of Accounts account so as far as I can tell there is no way to rename this something else (I would like to call it "Surplus for the Year" for a nonprofit client). Would anyone have any ideas on how this can be done. Thank you

Hello,

 

On reports there's a new feature which allows you to change the names listed on the reports.  This is JUST for display on reports.

That would be perfect! Are you on a BETA version of QBO? That functionality doesn't seem to be available on mine...
