Think of a balance sheet like a selfie—for a business.
It captures a company’s financial position at a single moment in time: what it owns, what it owes and what’s left over. But when accountants look closer, they see way more than just numbers.
So… what is a balance sheet?
Assets – Liabilities = Equity. It’s how you can tell if a business is thriving, surviving or barely hanging on. But don’t let the formula fool you. The real magic is in the story it tells.
In this Accountants have impACCT video by PwC, you’ll see how balance sheets reveal liquidity, risk, growth potential—and even red flags. It’s the kind of tool that helps companies make confident moves (like billion-dollar acquisitions 👀).
And it’s all powered by accountants who know how to spot the story behind the stats.
