Anatomy of the pack
Five parts, one story.
Profit & loss
Revenue, cost, and margin with prior-period comparisons and commentary on what moved.
Balance sheet
Reconciled position with notes on aging, reserves, and open items.
Cash flow
Operating, investing, and financing view tied to actual bank movement.
Commentary
A short written narrative, the ‘what moved and why' behind the numbers.
Supporting schedules
AR, AP, fixed-asset roll, debt schedule, and other schedules that support the statements.
Consistency
How the parts stay aligned.
Each statement pulls from the same reconciled ledger. Schedules match the balance sheet. Cash flow ties to the bank. Commentary references the exact accounts that moved. When something doesn't tie, it doesn't ship.
Boundaries
What reporting does not include.
- Institution is not a public accounting firm and does not issue audit or review opinions.
- Formal GAAP conversion is scoped separately when warranted.
- Investor communications and messaging remain with the client.
- External benchmarks are not fabricated to fill a chart.
Frequently asked
How often is the pack released?
Monthly, on a defined date once the controller has signed off. Interim reads are available for specific decisions.Can you present to investors or the board?
We prepare reviewed materials that accurately represent the business. Presentation is typically owned by the client's finance leadership.Do you provide GAAP financial statements?
We prepare management-quality statements consistent with the business's basis of accounting. Formal GAAP audit or review is a separate engagement with a licensed firm.What statements are included in Finance Desk?

Investor, lender, project or channel schedules should be specified separately in the reporting scope.Review Finance Desk deliverablesCan the reports support a fundraise or board meeting?
Reviewed books and supporting schedules can form the financial part of a diligence or board package. Agree the required periods, metrics, commentary, forecast and delivery date. Investor acceptance, an audit opinion and fundraising success are not guaranteed.Can you show SaaS, ecommerce or agency metrics?
Agree definitions and source records first. Subscription billing and deferred revenue, marketplace settlements and inventory costs, or project time and contractor spend require different schedules. Management metrics should reconcile to the financial record and clearly state any adjustments.Are three LLCs combined into one set of books?
Each legal entity keeps its own ledger. A management roll-up, intercompany eliminations and formal consolidated financial statements have different scopes. Confirm ownership, reporting basis and the group schedules needed.Review entity and group reportingWhat if the source records are incomplete?
The reporting pack should identify missing records, estimates and unresolved balances rather than present them as fully supported figures. Agree who resolves the gaps, whether cleanup is needed and which reports can be released.
