Frequently Asked Questions

Below are some of the most frequently asked questions we get about financial statement analyses.

The answers are meant to be helpful although should not be construed as accounting, legal or tax advice.

What are the key financial statements used in analysis, and what do they tell me?

The three primary statements are:

Income Statement: Shows profitability over a period (revenue minus expenses).
Balance Sheet: Provides a snapshot of assets, liabilities, and equity at a specific point.
Cash Flow Statement: Tracks cash inflows and outflows from operating, investing, and financing activities.

Each statement offers different insights, and analyzing them together paints a comprehensive picture of a company’s financial health.

What are the most common financial ratios used in analysis?

Common ratios include:

Profitability: Profit margin, return on assets (ROA), return on equity (ROE).
Liquidity: Current ratio, quick ratio.
Solvency: Debt-to-equity ratio.
Efficiency: Inventory turnover, receivable turnover.

These ratios help compare a company’s performance to industry benchmarks and its historical performance.

How can I identify potential risks and opportunities from financial statements?

Look for trends in revenues, expenses, debt levels, cash flow, and key ratios.

Pay attention to sudden changes, inconsistencies, or deviations from industry norms.

Understanding both positive and negative trends helps identify potential risks and opportunities.

What are the limitations of financial statement analysis?

Financial statements are historical data and may not reflect future performance.

They depend on accounting methods and can be manipulated to some extent.

Consult a CPA! We can interpret the data, explain key metrics, and provide meaningful insights tailored to your specific needs and goals.

Vertical analysis expresses each item as a percentage of a base figure, showing relative importance.

Both offer valuable insights.

How can I use financial statement analysis for investment decisions?

It helps assess a company’s financial health, profitability, and potential for growth.

By comparing companies and identifying undervalued firms, you can make informed investment decisions.

What are some industry-specific metrics I should consider?

A qualified CPA familiar with your industry can guide you on the most relevant factors to analyze.

How can financial statement analysis benefit small businesses?

It helps track performance, identify areas for improvement, monitor cash flow, and make informed financial decisions for growth and stability.
