The Role of Financial Reports in Business Decision Making Understanding and utilizing financial reports is crucial for making informed decisions that drive business growth. Key Financial Reports: 1️⃣ Income Statement: Shows profitability over a period by listing revenues and expenses. 2️⃣ Balance Sheet: A snapshot of a company’s assets, liabilities, and equity at a specific point in time. 3️⃣ Cash Flow Statement: Tracks the flow of cash in and out of the business, crucial for liquidity management. How to Use These Reports: ◾ Income Statement: Helps in identifying profit drivers and managing costs. ◾ Balance Sheet: Assesses the financial health of the company and ability to meet obligations. ◾ Cash Flow Statement: Guides cash management strategies and helps avoid liquidity issues. As fractionals, your balance sheet is 100% driven by cash and cash flows. Working in this sector, you will have minimal assets and your debt positioning should be nil for your business. On a personal side, I would recommend minimizing debt and operating with a strong cash forward position. Since your business is driven by cash, Income Statement and the Cash Flow Statement are the two reports that hold the most valuable data. Don’t measure your success simply off money coming in. Always remember, your time is valuable!!! Don’t work long and crazy hours trying to keep your business afloat without measuring the success of those efforts. Make sure you’re tracking your billable and non-billable time so you can make sure you’re adding value to your business with your non-billable time.
