name: financial-statements
description: Generate financial statements (income statement, balance sheet, cash flow) with period-over-period comparison and variance analysis. Use when preparing a monthly or quarterly P&L, closing the books and need to flag material variances, comparing actuals to budget, building a financial summary for leadership review, or looking up GAAP presentation requirements and period-end adjustments.

**Important**: This command assists with financial statement workflows but does not provide financial advice. All statements should be reviewed by qualified financial professionals before use in reporting or filings.
Generate financial statements with period-over-period comparison and variance analysis. The workflow below walks through income statement generation; balance sheet and cash flow statement reference formats, GAAP presentation requirements (ASC 220/210/230), and common period-end adjustments are included as supporting reference material.
## Usage
```
/financial-statements <period-type> <period>
```
### Arguments
- `period-type` — The reporting period type:
- `monthly` — Single month P&L with prior month and prior year month comparison
- `quarterly` — Quarter P&L with prior quarter and prior year quarter comparison
- `annual` — Full year P&L with prior year comparison
- `ytd` — Year-to-date P&L with prior year YTD comparison
- `period` — The period to report (e.g., `2024-12`, `2024-Q4`, `2024`)
## Workflow
### 1. Gather Financial Data
If ~~erp or ~~data warehouse is connected:
- Pull trial balance or income statement data for the specified period
- Pull comparison period data (prior period, prior year, budget/forecast)
- Pull account hierarchy and groupings for presentation
If no data source is connected:
> Connect ~~erp or ~~data warehouse to pull financial data automatically. You can also paste trial balance data, upload a spreadsheet, or provide income statement data for analysis.
Prompt the user to provide:
- Current period revenue and expense data (by account or category)
- Comparison period data (prior period, prior year, and/or budget)
- Any known adjustments or reclassifications
### 2. Generate Income Statement
Present in standard multi-column format:
```

### 3. Variance Analysis
For each line item, calculate and flag material variances.
#### Variance Calculation
For each line item, calculate:
- **Dollar variance:** Current period - Prior period (or current period - budget)
- **Percentage variance:** (Current - Prior) / |Prior| x 100
- **Basis point change:** For margins and ratios, express change in basis points (1 bp = 0.01%)
#### Materiality Thresholds
Define what constitutes a "material" variance requiring investigation. Common approaches:
- **Fixed dollar threshold:** Variances exceeding a set dollar amount (e.g., $50K, $100K)
- **Percentage threshold:** Variances exceeding a set percentage (e.g., 10%, 15%)
- **Combined:** Either the dollar OR percentage threshold is exceeded
- **Scaled:** Different thresholds for different line items based on their size and volatility
*Example thresholds (adjust for your organization):*
| Line Item Size | Dollar Threshold | Percentage Threshold |
|---------------|-----------------|---------------------|
| > $10M | $500K | 5% |
| $1M - $10M | $100K | 10% |
| < $1M | $50K | 15% |
#### Variance Decomposition
Break down total variance into component drivers:
- **Volume/quantity effect:** Change in volume at prior period rates
- **Rate/price effect:** Change in rate/price at current period volume
- **Mix effect:** Shift in composition between items with different rates/margins
- **New/discontinued items:** Items present in one period but not the other
- **One-time/non-recurring items:** Items that are not expected to repeat
- **Timing effect:** Items shifting between periods (not a true change in run rate)
- **Currency effect:** Impact of FX rate changes on translated results
#### Investigation and Narrative
For each material variance:
1. Quantify the variance ($ and %)
2. Identify whether favorable or unfavorable
3. Decompose into drivers using the categories above
4. Provide a narrative explanation of the business reason
5. Assess whether the variance is temporary or represents a trend change
6. Note any actions required (further investigation, forecast update, process change)
### 4. Key Metrics Summary
```
KEY METRICS
Current Prior Change
Revenue growth (%) X.X%
Gross margin (%) XX.X% XX.X% X.X pp
Operating margin (%) XX.X% XX.X% X.X pp
Net margin (%) XX.X% XX.X% X.X pp
OpEx as % of revenue XX.X% XX.X% X.X pp
Effective tax rate (%) XX.X% XX.X% X.X pp
```
### 5. Material Variance Summary
List all material variances requiring investigation:
| Line Item | Variance ($) | Variance (%) | Direction | Preliminary Driver | Action |
|-----------|-------------|-------------|-----------|-------------------|--------|
| [Item] | $X,XXX | X.X% | Unfav. | [If known] | Investigate |
### 6. Output
Provide:
1. Formatted income statement with comparisons
2. Key metrics summary
3. Material variance listing with investigation flags
4. Suggested follow-up questions for unexplained variances
5. Offer to drill into any specific variance with `/flux`
## GAAP Presentation Requirements
### Income Statement (ASC 220 / IAS 1)
- Present all items of income and expense recognized in a period
- Classify expenses either by nature (materials, labor, depreciation) or by function (COGS, R&D, S&M, G&A) — function is more common for US companies
- If classified by function, disclose depreciation, amortization, and employee benefit costs by nature in the notes
- Present operating and non-operating items separately
- Show income tax expense as a separate line
- Extraordinary items are prohibited under both US GAAP and IFRS
- Discontinued operations presented separately, net of tax
**Common presentation considerations:**
- **Revenue disaggregation:** ASC 606 requires disaggregation of revenue into categories that depict how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue are affected by economic factors
- **Stock-based compensation:** Classify within the functional expense categories (R&D, S&M, G&A) with total SBC disclosed in notes
- **Restructuring charges:** Present separately if material, or include in operating expenses with note disclosure
- **Non-GAAP adjustments:** If presenting non-GAAP measures (common in earnings releases), clearly label and reconcile to GAAP
### Balance Sheet (ASC 210 / IAS 1)
- Distinguish between current and non-current assets and liabilities
- Current: expected to be realized, consumed, or settled within 12 months (or the operating cycle if longer)
- Present assets in order of liquidity (most liquid first) — standard US practice
- Accounts receivable shown net of allowance for credit losses (ASC 326)
- Property and equipment shown net of accumulated depreciation
- Goodwill is not amortized — tested for impairment annually (ASC 350)
- Leases: recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for operating and finance leases (ASC 842)
### Cash Flow Statement (ASC 230 / IAS 7)
- Indirect method is most common (start with net income, adjust for non-cash items)
- Direct method is permitted but rarely used (requires supplemental indirect reconciliation)
- Interest paid and income taxes paid must be disclosed (either on the face or in notes)
- Non-cash investing and financing activities disclosed separately (e.g., assets acquired under leases, stock issued for acquisitions)
- Cash equivalents: short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of 3 months or less

### Reclassifications
1. **Current/non-current reclassification:** Reclassify long-term debt maturing within 12 months to current
2. **Contra account netting:** Net allowances against gross receivables, accumulated depreciation against gross assets
3. **Intercompany elimination:** Eliminate intercompany balances and transactions in consolidation
4. **Discontinued operations:** Reclassify results of discontinued operations to a separate line item
5. **Equity method adjustments:** Record share of investee income/loss for equity method investments
6. **Segment reclassifications:** Ensure transactions are properly classified by operating segment
