I need help making my balance sheet balance
Hello everyone,
I'm new to financial modeling and I'm building a 5 years projection for my startup business.
I'm stuck on the balance sheet/cash flow statement...the cash from the cash flow is not balancing the balance sheet.
If you are interested in helping me, please let me know, and I will share all the needed info with you.
Thank you
Hey there,
I'd be more than happy to lend a hand! It sounds like you're having a bit of a monkey's time with your balance sheet and cash flow statement. Don't worry, it's a common issue when you're new to financial modeling.
