A profit and loss, a balance sheet and a cash flow statement, built from reconciled records rather than from whatever the software would print today.
Anyone can press print. What makes a statement worth handing to a lender, a landlord, a partner or your tax preparer is that the data underneath it has been reconciled to something the business does not control, which means the bank statement.
We prepare statements for a defined period from reconciled records, formatted so the person reading them does not need an accounting background to follow the story.
The order is the whole difference. A statement produced from an unreconciled period is a formatted guess, and it will be treated as fact by whoever you hand it to.
A lender reviewing an application. A landlord assessing a lease. A prospective partner or buyer doing diligence. A grant body asking for financial reporting in a specific format. A board or an investor who is entitled to see the numbers quarterly.
The other case is the one nobody asks for and everybody needs: an owner who wants to know whether the business is genuinely profitable, and has never had a set of statements that could answer it.

No statement is produced from an unreconciled period. If the underlying months are open, that work comes first and we tell you before we start.
2
If the chart of accounts groups things in a way that hides the story, we say so. A profit and loss with one line called operating expenses is technically correct and practically useless.
3
All three, with the prior period alongside.

We go through them with you the first time, because a statement nobody understands does not change any decisions.
Where a specific format is required, tell us who is asking and what they want at the start. A grant body, a franchisor and a bank each want the same underlying data arranged differently, and building it once in the right shape is far cheaper than rebuilding it after it comes back.
No. We prepare statements from your records. We do not perform audits, reviews or attest services, which require a licensed CPA firm. If a lender specifically requires audited statements, you need a CPA and we will tell you that rather than let you find out late.
As recent as the last closed period. We do not produce statements from an open month, because an open period can still change.
Yes, provided that year is reconciled. Where it is not, the work is scoped as an annual build or a cleanup first.
Standard formats by default, and a specific format on request where a lender or grant body requires one.
The same statements delivered on a monthly rhythm rather than on request.
