What do you mean by a personal individual balance sheet? This sounds to me like un bilan global, from French, which, in English, for a person, is not a balance sheet or global. Un bilan individuel global? More context would help. It sounds like someone has high overall sales' figures, to me.

Not really.
global:
- : spherical
- : of, relating to, or involving the entire world : worldwide : a global system of communication; also : of or relating to a celestial body (such as the moon)
- : of, relating to, or applying to a whole (such as a mathematical function or a computer program) : universal : a global search of a file
The third meaning would probably come close, but for a balance sheet it would sound a bit grand to me. Total would be a better choice, or even grand total.
