Yes, this is Available in all QB  Desktop programs and has been a basic Preference all these years.

Edit menu > Preferences, Reports and Graphs (on the left), then Company Preferences, on the right. Confirm Cash Basis here. Also, use the Format button and mark in Fonts & Numbers that you always want to see negatives in Bright Red; your computer has a Bajillion million colors, so let's Use them. Also, on the My Preferences tab, change it to Automatically Refresh; this is a leftover  from when our computers took Forever to update reports; but now you can set it to Automatic. And on Company Preferences tab, I like to show Account name only and Item Name Only, not including Descriptions.
