Explain a financial statement (P&L, balance sheet, or cash flow) in plain English. Use when asked to explain a P&L / income statement, a balance sheet, a cash flow statement, or to make financials understandable to a non-finance reader. Produces a plain-language walkthrough — what each section means, the line items that matter, the key ratios, and the story the numbers tell — so a non-accountant can read and act on it. Not financial advice.

# Financial Statement Explainer Skill

Financial statements are precise but opaque to most people. This skill translates a P&L, balance sheet, or cash
flow into **plain English** — what each part means, which numbers actually matter, and the story they tell about
the business — so a founder, manager, or operator can read their own financials and make decisions.

> **Note:** this is an educational explainer, **not financial, investment, tax, or accounting advice**. It
> explains figures the user provides; it does not audit them or recommend financial decisions. Verify numbers
> and any decisions with a qualified accountant/advisor. Never invent figures.
