5. Produce proform balance sheet
A balance sheet is a picture of a company’s net worth at a
given time, such as the end of the year. It reflects the company’s
assets, liabilities and owner’s equity. It’s important to create and
review this financial statement to track the growth (or
contraction) of your business. As the term implies, a balance
sheet is a two-column statement of items that are the same:
both columns should balance each other out. The first column
is a list of assets. The second column is the sum of a list of
liabilities and the owner’s equity in the business. Expressed as
an equation, the balance sheet shows: Assets = Liabilities +
Owner’s Equity
