Alright if you’re back from listening to the accounting pros Dr. Cortney and Ashley, CPA…and I do hope you got in a few laughs along the way…let’s break down all those words you just heard as best as we can starting with the (cue the scary music) balance sheet. Maybe you took an accounting class in high school or college and you’re thinking “duh. Who doesn’t know what a balance sheet is?!” Well, if you’re a journalism major turned recent entrepreneur like myself, then this podcast is the FIRST time every hearing that word.

Simply put, the balance sheet tells you where you are financially at any given time. Bottom line…do not ignore the poor balance sheet!
