The Balance Sheet is a snapshot of your business’s financial position at a specific point in time. It shows what you own (assets), what you owe (liabilities), and what’s left over (equity).
The fundamental equation
Assets = Liabilities + EquityThis equation always balances. If it doesn’t, something is miscategorized or a journal entry is needed.
