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
