What Our Reports Entail
- Balance sheet – A balance sheet is an important financial statement that provides a snapshot of your business’s financial condition at a single point in time. It outlines the value of your assets, liabilities and owner’s equity, offering a clear picture of what your business owns and owes. This statement is essential for assessing the financial stability and liquidity of your business so you can make informed decisions regarding investments, creditworthiness and overall financial strategy.
- Profit and loss statement – Also known as an income statement, the profit and loss statement summarises your business’s revenues and expenses over a specific period of time. This statement provides insights into your company’s operational efficiency and profitability by detailing income generated from sales and services, as well as expenses incurred in generating that income. Analysis of your profit and loss statement can reveal areas where costs can be reduced or revenue can be increased, ultimately guiding strategic planning and ensuring the long-term financial health of your business.
- Cash flow statement – A cash flow statement tracks the movement of cash into and out of your business over a specific period. It highlights the sources and uses of cash, helping you understand how well your business can meet its short-term financial obligations. This enables you to assess the liquidity and operational efficiency of your business, ensuring you have enough cash on hand to cover expenses, invest in growth opportunities and manage unexpected financial challenges.
- Statement of changes in equity – Also referred to as a statement of retained earnings, this financial report outlines the changes in the equity of your business for a set time period. It tracks the movement of retained earnings, net income and other equity components, providing a comprehensive view of your company’s financial structure. This statement is particularly important if there have been recent changes in the investment or structure of the company.
Why You Might Need Financial Statements
The financial statements we offer through our financial reporting services provide a comprehensive overview of your business’s financial health and performance. Accurate and detailed statements can significantly impact your ability to secure loans, comply with government regulations and attract potential investors.
- Financial Institutions – Financial institutions such as banks and creditors often require detailed financial statements when assessing the viability of extending credit or loans to your business. These documents provide a clear picture of your company’s financial health, including assets, liabilities and profitability, allowing financial institutions to determine your creditworthiness, evaluate your ability to repay loans and set appropriate terms for credit facilities.
- Government Institutions – Government institutions may request financial statements to establish your earnings, asset ownership, and exposure to liabilities for tax purposes and regulatory compliance. Accurate financial statements can help your business meet legal requirements and avoid potential penalties or audits. They provide transparency into your financial activities, allowing government agencies to assess your tax liabilities, monitor compliance with financial regulations and evaluate your business’s overall economic impact.
- Investors & Valuers – Investors and valuers use financial statements as a primary reference point to gauge the financial health and potential of your business. These documents provide insights into your company’s profitability, growth prospects and risk factors, enabling investors to make informed decisions about investing in your business.
