Considering the critical role of financial statements in business decision-making and tax filings, you should avoid errors completely. Our skilled and experienced accountants are ready to help prepare the following financial statements.
Balance Sheet
This financial statement clearly shows all your company’s liabilities, assets, and other shareholders’ equity for a certain period. It allows you to see what or how much your business owns and owes. Therefore, a balance sheet forms the foundation of how you’re using your assets and the financial health of your company at a given point in time.
Income Statement
Also known as a profit and loss report, your company’s income statement summarizes all costs, expenses, and revenues for a specific period. This financial report is crucial for assessing your company’s financial performance, assessing trends, and identifying areas for potential growth.
If your company uses IFRS, our team is committed to helping prepare a statement of comprehensive income, which must be submitted in addition to the profit and loss report in Canada.
Cash Flow Statement
Your organization’s cash flow statement shows how money and cash equivalents flow into and out of your business during a certain period. Note that a cash equivalent could be a short-term investment that’s easily convertible to cash (liquid).
Cash flow statements are also known as statements of changes in financial position and are only held for a short period, approximately three months.
Statement of Retained Earnings
This financial report shows the cumulative earnings of your company after dividends or distributions to your shareholders. It also shows any changes in retained earnings between the opening and closing periods of every balance sheet. It can also show adjustments from related transactions.
If you adhere to IFRS accounting rules, our accountants can help prepare a statement of changes in shareholder equity. Here’s an example of a profit and loss report.
| XYZ Co. Statement of Retained Earnings | Year 2022 | Year 2023 |
| Retained earnings (opening) | 78,050 | 40,910 |
| Net income | 24,350 | 37,140 |
