A balance sheet will work pretty much the same way. The balance sheet will list all assets the company retains, such as account receivable, cash, etc all liabilities such as notes payable, etc.

The major difference is the type of revenue or income. Usually listed as Service Revenue, although service revenue will be closed at the end of the month or whatever period and listed in retained earnings.

Even though it is a "service" business its operations is still similar to that of a merchandising business, however, such accounts as cost of goods sold are not used.
