Balance sheet: A balance sheet lets you know the financial position of your company at a given period of time. In other words, it allows you to see an accurate assets balances your company owns and what are the liabilities against such assets. It also helps you;

• Identify your business financial strength and weakness
• Identify and analyze trends, particularly in the area of receivables and payables. For example, if your receivables cycle is lengthening, maybe you can collect your receivables more aggressively.
• Consider and explore possibilities for expansion of your business
