"Post" means "after"\n\nWhen closing out your books at the end of an accounting period, you will prepare three trial balances:\n\nA preliminary trial balance is prepared using your general ledger account balances before you make adjusting entries. \nAn adjusted trial balance is done after preparing adjusting entries and posting them to your general ledger. This will help ensure that the books used to prepare your financial statements are in balance. \nA post-closing trial balance is done after preparing and posting your closing entries. This trial balance, which should contain only balance sheet accounts, will help guarantee that your books are in balance for the beginning of the new accounting period.

The reported cash balance is the balance at the end of the reporting period (e.g. fiscal quarter, fiscal half-year, fiscal year) as denoted at the top of the balance sheet.  "Now" is always after the fiscal reporting period since it always takes some time to close the accounting books and report results. But that's being a bit picky.
