Frequently asked questions
What is a balance sheet?
A balance sheet (also called a statement of financial position) shows what a company owns (assets), what it owes (liabilities), and what is left for owners (equity) at a single point in time. The fundamental equation is Assets = Liabilities + Equity.
Why does my balance sheet have to balance?
Because every accounting transaction has equal and offsetting effects. If something does not balance, you have either missed an entry, double-counted, or used a wrong sign. The most common culprit is retained earnings being out of sync with year-to-date net income.
What is the difference between current and non-current?
"Current" assets and liabilities are expected to be converted to cash or settled within one year (or one operating cycle, whichever is longer). "Non-current" are longer-term: PP&E, intangibles, long-term debt. The split helps lenders and investors gauge short-term liquidity.
How do I show accumulated depreciation?
List PP&E at gross historical cost, then enter accumulated depreciation as a negative number on the next line. The total of the two equals net PP&E. The line items editor accepts negative values directly; just type "-30000".
What is retained earnings?
Cumulative net income earned over the company's life, minus dividends paid out. Each year, net income from the P&L flows through to retained earnings on the balance sheet. This is what links the two statements.
