Explain the process of preparing financial statements for a venture-backed startup seeking its next funding round.
Preparing “investor-ready” financial statements starts with completing reconciliations and ensuring that all transactions are accurately recorded. After that, finance teams prepare the income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement using consistent accounting policies.
Next, supporting schedules for revenue, expenses, debt, and equity should be reviewed to identify discrepancies before presentation. Finally, management should accompany the financial statements with KPI analysis, forecasts, and explanations of major trends. This gives investors a better understanding of the company’s performance and future growth potential.
