Effortless financial statement analysis with QuickBooks
Accounting statements are crucial elements to the financial success of every type of business. These statements provide deep insight on financial transactions that help business owners, investors and third-party sponsors evaluate a business’s financial health. Therefore, it is crucial that businesses draw up regular statement analysis reports to ensure that finances and books are maintained and up to date.
A financial statement analysis is usually conducted by the accounting department of a business and the process involves an in-depth review of journal and ledger entries, credit and debit statements, as well as liability and equity accounts. Ultimately, financial statements analysis aims to assess the viability, stability and profitability of a business. These reports allow business owners and financial managers to make informed decisions when it comes to business expenses and investments.
QuickBooks accounting software is designed to facilitate your financial division in creating, recording and tracking business transactional records that are necessary for producing financial statement analysis reports.
Major business financial statements
Though not every business’s financial division operates alike, there are seven major types of financial statements that are common in most types of businesses:
- Balance Sheets – These provide a snapshot of a business’s financial record at a specific point of time. It is crucial that the total amounts on each balance sheet are in balance, to ensure accurate financial statement analysis.
- Statements of Equity – These types of statements in the financial statement analysis process display the business owners’ capital amount and legal rights to the assets that are signed to them.
- Profit and Loss Statements – Also known as income statements, these documents determine how revenue (the gross total amount before expenses have been accounted for) has been transformed to net income (the total amount after all expenses have been accounted for).
- Statements of Cash Inflow – Cash inflow statements display funds that are generated and received by a business such as a company’s sales revenue, owner investments, asset sales and donations.
- Statements of Cash Outflow - Cash outflow statements display a business’s expenses and funds that go to third parties from a business’s account. These can include costs for stationary, furniture or operational equipment, loan or credit card payments, asset purchases or owner withdrawals.
