📊 Financial Statements Simplified for Your Business

At GST Suvidha Centre, we help businesses stay financially healthy and compliant by offering expert support in preparing and analyzing essential financial statements—including the Profit & Loss Statement (P&L) and the Balance Sheet.

📈 Profit & Loss Statement (P&L)

Also known as the Income Statement, the P&L statement summarizes a business’s revenues, costs, and expenses over a specific period (quarterly or annually). It is a crucial tool for understanding profitability and financial performance.

🔹 Key Functions of the P&L Statement

• Tracks income and expenditures
• Measures business profitability
• Highlights operational efficiency
• Informs strategic decision-making

🔹 Structure of a P&L Statement

It typically includes:

• Revenue (Top Line)
• Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)
• Operating Expenses
• Interest and Taxes
• Net Profit (Bottom Line)

🔹 Why the P&L Matters

• Reveals whether your business is profitable
• Helps track indirect expenses
• Calculates key metrics like the Net Profit Ratio
  Formula: Net Profit / Net Sales
• Aids in expense control and budgeting
• Supports future planning and investment decisions

📌 Pro Tip:

Always compare income statements across multiple periods to spot trends in revenue, expenses, and profitability.

🧾 Balance Sheet: Your Business Snapshot

A Balance Sheet provides a snapshot of a company’s financial position at a given moment. It lists assets, liabilities, and equity, showing what the business owns and owes.

🔹 Basic Equation:

Assets = Liabilities + Equity

🔹 Importance of a Balance Sheet

• Evaluates liquidity, leverage, and returns
• Helps in loan approvals and credit assessments
• Essential for investors, suppliers, and regulators
• Aids in statutory compliance

🔹 Key Insights You Gain

• Liquidity: Can the business pay short-term debts?
  (Check: Current Ratio, Quick Ratio)
• Leverage: How much debt is the business using to operate?
  (Debt-to-Equity Ratio)
• Efficiency: Is the company using its assets effectively?
  (Asset Turnover Ratio)
• Return Metrics:
  • Return on Equity (ROE)
  • Return on Assets (ROA)
  • Return on Invested Capital (ROIC)

🧮 Types of Balance Sheets
