    Find out how a balance sheet works with this special demo!
    The balance sheet is one of the three main financial statements and it provides information about a company’s financial position at a certain point in time. If you want to understand the financial health of a business that’s the place to start. However, please note that’s it’s just a snapshot a certain point in time: It does NOT show the flows into and out of the accounts during the period.

    The balance sheet provides information on the company’s Assets, Liabilities and Equity. Assets are the resources the company owns and uses, and Liabilities is what it owes to others. Equity is the difference between total assets and total liabilities. This leftover money belongs to the owners of the company. Therefore, the more assets a company has and the smaller its debt, the bigger equity will be.
    It all comes back to the main accounting equation: Assets equal Liabilities plus Equity or if we rearrange: Equity equals Assets minus Liabilities. A higher value for assets, a lower value for liabilities equals higher equity.

    Your videos are amazing. I've been an accountant for over 25 years and trained many people, but now looking for simple ways to help my wife understand accounting as she gets involved in the business. I always prided myself in being great at explaining things, but I come no where near your clarity, delivery and techniques. You are very special. I mean that. Just incredible videos.

    Your work is GREAT, I have whittled down my accounting lessons to yours because of how clearly you've taught the art and science. I plan to go through more of your playlists as I continue learning about accounting and bookkeeping, I am subscribed! Thank you very much.

    I asked my wife if it were ok to fall in love with you, and she told me it was ok since she loves you too 🙂. I have been trying to bend my mind around the basics of financial statements, and this is the first time I have been able to get the necessary understanding. Truly appreciated!!

    The whole system has been designed to complicate everything especially with bogus terminologies but you've broken things down so much in ways that any average person can understand.
    Good job and many thanks 👍👍

    @christianpetersen1782 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Leila, where have you been all my life?!! I have been studying balance sheets and numbers etc for years and even asked an accountant in our finance dept to help me understand balance sheets but nothing worked.
    I could never work out how every time, unless by pure coincidence, Liabilities plus Stakeholders’ Equity equaled Assets.
    It would be so much easier to understand from the beginning if the balance diagram showed Stakeholders’ Equity on one side of the balance and Total Assets minus Total Liabilities on the other side. This is much closer to the common understanding of Profit equals Income minus Costs. It has taken until your video for me to realise that the reason it balances every time is because the stakeholders’ Equity is included but hidden in the Total Assets. I’m slow but I get there in the end!
    Thank you so much for simplifying it. I’m overjoyed 😄. Fantastic.
    You just earned a new subscriber. Mwa!
