However, many people are likely intimidated by the idea that “I’m not good with numbers and calculations” or “financial statements seem difficult.” This book is the definitive introduction to financial statements for such people. Financial statements are important documents that show a company’s performance and financial status. They are like a company’s health checkup and report card, providing a comprehensive overview of sales, profits, debt and asset balances, and even cash flow. Understanding not only your own financial statements, but also those of your business partners and competitors can make a big difference in your sales, strategy planning, and investment decisions. ■Easy, practical learning structure This book focuses on the three most important financial statements among financial statements — ・Income statement (shows the company’s profits) ・Balance sheet (shows the financial situation) ・Cash flow statement (shows the inflow and outflow of money) This book explains everything from basic mechanisms to practical applications. It avoids complex technical terms and is packed with examples and illustrations, making it easy to understand even for first-time learners. ■Ability to utilize financial statements directly linked to business The unique feature of this book is that it goes beyond simply acquiring knowledge and goes into how to actually use it. “What are the conditions for a company to survive?” “How do you identify a growing company?” “What are the characteristics of a profitable company?” etc. Introduces numerous perspectives that are immediately useful in everyday business. By mastering the three financial statements, you will be able to accurately assess a company’s stability, growth potential, and profitability. Understanding numbers makes business more interesting. This book is recommended for all business people who want to use their accounting knowledge as a weapon. ■ Structure of this book Introduction: What is the role of financial statements?
