Every business produces three financial statements. Understanding them gives you an edge as an investor, entrepreneur, or employee.
The Three Statements
- Income Statement — Shows revenue, expenses, and profit. Is this business making money?
- Balance Sheet — Shows assets, liabilities, and equity. What does this business own and owe?
- Cash Flow Statement — Shows actual cash moving in and out. Does this business have real money?
The Most Important Number
Free cash flow. Profit can be manipulated with accounting. Cash flow is harder to fake.
How to Apply This
- Before investing in a stock — read its income statement and cash flow statement.
- Running a business — track these monthly.
- Job hunting — a company with strong financials is more stable employment.
