Model trouble

Hey everybody,

I've been reading this forum for awhile, but this is my first post. I have built a quick and easy lbo model for interview practice and I am stuck with my balance sheet not balancing. What are some of the more common reasons for this? I checked to make sure all the changes flow through the cash flow statement a few times and I cannot seem to find the mistake. What are some of the main reasons for the BS not balancing? Would anybody be willing to take a look at it? I can't build out the outputs and IRR analysis without the BS balancing, thanks
