Income Statement

Understanding the gain or loss for a period will allow you to...

  • Determine your business's operating loss or profit by tracking your expenditures and revenues.
  • Identify portions of your business that are currently under-budget or over-budget.
  • Determine which items are causing unexpected expenditures.
  • Track dramatic decreases and increases in expenditures or income.
  • Determine your expected income tax liability.

Balance Sheet

Having a balance sheet allows you to view the financial condition of your business at a specific point in time so that you can...

  • Determine the capabilities and financial strength of your business.
  • Analyze financial trends with lengthening payables and receivables cycles.
  • Decide if your business is ready to expand its operations.
  • Decide if your business will be able to handle the ebb and flow of expenses and revenues.
  • Decide if you must take urgent steps to increase your revenue.
  • Determine if there is a possibility of impending cash shortage.

Potential lenders such as investors, banks and vendors will use your income statements and balance sheets to determine how much credit will be granted to your business, so it is essential that these accounting bookkeeping documents be complete and accurate.

Keeping Your General Ledger Clean and Accurate

Since all transactions flow through a company's general ledger, this document can be considered the core of your financial records. Problems in the general ledger will render all of your books inaccurate.

Our company will study your general ledger each period to identify and repair any discrepancies. Lopato and Associates will keep all of your books accurate!
