A good manager is aware of how both cash and profits affect a balance sheet. A balance sheet shows if a company is financially healthy.

The balance sheet answers the following questions:

  • Do the assets outweigh the liabilities?
  • Can the company pay its bills?
  • Is the owner’s equity growing?

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
