How should I balance my Balance Sheet post-acquisition?

I'm putting together a model in which Company A is to acquire Company B, but Company A's cash is to be the closing cash amount on the consolidated balance sheet. I have shareholder's equity being equal to the total amount of equity contributions and goodwill being the amount created from the deal. How do I make it so that my Balance Sheet balances? I currently have that the balance sheet is unbalanced exactly by the cash amount.
