What is a balance sheet and why is it important?

A balance sheet is a financial document that provides a snapshot of a company’s financial condition at a particular point in time. It’s like a financial health check-up, showing what the company owns (assets), what it owes (liabilities), and the value left for the shareholders (shareholders’ equity). Understanding a balance sheet is crucial because it helps you assess a company’s financial stability and ability to handle economic downturns or financial crises.
