A balance sheet is a financial statement that provides a snapshot of a company's financial health at a specific point in time. It shows the company's assets, liabilities, and equity. Assets are the company's resources, such as cash, inventory, and equipment. Liabilities are the company's debts, such as loans and accounts payable. Equity is the difference between the company's assets and liabilities, and it represents the owners' stake in the company.
