Based on the output you provided, next level spec TCheckBox is not needed. Just use this code:

checkbox = app.Dialog.child_window(title='Has Balance', auto_id='HasBalanceCheckEdit', control_type='CheckBox').wrapper_object()

Explicit ButtonWrapper instantiation is also not necessary because the control type is already auto detected by .wrapper_object(). That's why control_type='CheckBox' in your child_window can find the control.
