How to Read the Balance Sheet

See your assets, liabilities, and equity at any point in time.

What this does

Shows the financial position of your business at a specific date — what you own, what you owe, and what's left over.

When to use it

Review at year end, before a funding round, or when a bank asks for financial statements.
