Find out how a balance sheet works with this special demo!
The balance sheet is one of the three main financial statements and it provides information about a company’s financial position at a certain point in time. If you want to understand the financial health of a business that’s the place to start. However, please note that’s it’s just a snapshot a certain point in time: It does NOT show the flows into and out of the accounts during the period.

The balance sheet provides information on the company’s Assets, Liabilities and Equity. Assets are the resources the company owns and uses, and Liabilities is what it owes to others. Equity is the difference between total assets and total liabilities. This leftover money belongs to the owners of the company. Therefore, the more assets a company has and the smaller its debt, the bigger equity will be.
It all comes back to the main accounting equation: Assets equal Liabilities plus Equity or if we rearrange: Equity equals Assets minus Liabilities. A higher value for assets, a lower value for liabilities equals higher equity.

Your videos are amazing. I've been an accountant for over 25 years and trained many people, but now looking for simple ways to help my wife understand accounting as she gets involved in the business. I always prided myself in being great at explaining things, but I come no where near your clarity, delivery and techniques. You are very special. I mean that. Just incredible videos.
Your work is GREAT, I have whittled down my accounting lessons to yours because of how clearly you've taught the art and science. I plan to go through more of your playlists as I continue learning about accounting and bookkeeping, I am subscribed! Thank you very much.
Absolutely brilliant way of explaining / teaching a layman some technicalities of balance sheets. Thank you, keep up the good work 😊
The whole system has been designed to complicate everything especially with bogus terminologies but you've broken things down so much in ways that any average person can understand.
Good job and many thanks 👍👍
I retired a number of years ago after starting and running a number of successful businesses. This video would have been great when I started my first buisness at 19.
Interesting and effective way to explain a complicated idea.
I'm an accountant. But I must admit I've never seen a more simple explanation of a Balance Sheet and with a demonstration. Love your videos😍
Great to hear!
BORING SIMPLE THINGS MADE COMPLEX WITH TERMINOLOGIES. CREATED JOBS FOR ACCOUNTANTS. 😅
Thanks for the clever Juice Balance Sheet Video : )
Hi mike... Hope u are doing good...
Thank you Mike. I had to drink a lot of juice in the making of this one : )
@@LeilaGharani Well - You Really Did "Juice" this Demo, then!
@@LeilaGharani 😄👌
Hope you do a video on the cash flow statement soon! Your Excel videos are probably the best on the planet!
Thanks Leila. This is a very clear explanation. I am doing AAT level 3 and you have reminded me of a few things and clarified a few things for me.
Since when I was in 12th never got the real logic behind it but after watching this I am able to got everything about the balance sheet. Thank you so much Mam.

I asked my wife if it were ok to fall in love with you, and she told me it was ok since she loves you too 🙂. I have been trying to bend my mind around the basics of financial statements, and this is the first time I have been able to get the necessary understanding. Truly appreciated!!
EXCELLENT demonstration!!!! Thank you!!!!
Amazing explanation, I've just started my Amazon FBA business and I needed this to know more about accounting. I'm gonna watch all your videos, and check if you have something for e-commerce. You're the best 🤗

You are a great teacher. I just could understand (before seeing your video), how liabilities are considered assets, simplifying and explaining that clearly is a gift. Thank you
Happy to help!
Great visualisation. Many thanks! 🎉
Excellent explanation of not only the Balance Sheet but also the 'concept' of Equity' and how these are used to determine the overall financial health of a company at a particular point in time: bravo!
Another really innovative way to explain the balance sheet. Well done.
That was the most creative explanation of the balance sheet. Great video!

Glad you like the little fun demo :)
This was extremely helpful. Thank you!
Excellent video, simple clear and very interesting!
This is Amazing.
I thought I was a below average student, well it turns out that my teacher failed to explain the topic.
Wow! That's great and easy to understand your explanation.
Leila, where have you been all my life?!! I have been studying balance sheets and numbers etc for years and even asked an accountant in our finance dept to help me understand balance sheets but nothing worked.
I could never work out how every time, unless by pure coincidence, Liabilities plus Stakeholders’ Equity equaled Assets.
It would be so much easier to understand from the beginning if the balance diagram showed Stakeholders’ Equity on one side of the balance and Total Assets minus Total Liabilities on the other side. This is much closer to the common understanding of Profit equals Income minus Costs. It has taken until your video for me to realise that the reason it balances every time is because the stakeholders’ Equity is included but hidden in the Total Assets. I’m slow but I get there in the end!
Thank you so much for simplifying it. I’m overjoyed 😄. Fantastic.
You just earned a new subscriber. Mwa!
Thank you! Really great explanation :)
Amazing. Such a great explanation!
Wow!

Thank you so much, I needed a refresher. Would you be going to into specific parts of accounting? Such as account payables and receivables, The breakdowns of AP metrics like DPO, turn over etc?
Interesting way to explain the movements of money in a company. Very good. Always a pleasure to watch your videos!
I'm happy to hear that Mario!
Definitely enjoying the finance series...I hope you will also cover intrest, profit and lose formula and its applications in excel!
I enjoyed watching your video. I'm taking basic accounting and waiting for my books to arrive. My worksheets are due, and this was very helpful to grasp the bigger picture. Thank you Leila.

Thank you so much for these!
You are s great Tuitor. You are improving the academic life for many students and professionals.
Nice and easily explained, Thanks. In a future video can you go over depreciation to assets with the relation to taxes/balance sheet. I was in business (construction) for many years, I'm retired now but depreciation of equipment and replacement of same actually saved me on taxes once I understood it. Again Thanks.
This is beyond clarity. I love it. Thanks so much
Glad it was helpful!
