Generally when someone ventures into a business, one of the most important tasks is the bookkeeper or the accountant that manages and records the finance of the business. If you do not have the necessary skills to take on this task by yourself then you can revert it to another person that your employee, who is experienced and can handle such tasks as well.

Either way, whether you are handling it yourself or giving it to someone else to manage, you have to be able to understand some of the basic financial statement to ensure that you stay up to date with how your business is progressing. The three financial statements that I believe that you need to be versed in are:
1. The balance sheet - this shows yoru assets and liabilities of the business and ensures that there are no discrepancies
2. The income statement showing the expenses and the income of the business
3. The cash flow projection to show how cash is coming into and being spent from the business and may include future predictions as well.

Are there are other financial statements or requirements that you feel that an owner should be well versed in?

The financial statement you must understand, is that are you making profit or operating the business organization at a loss or gain.

To understand a companies financial position both on its own and within its industry you need to review and analyze several financial statements: balance sheets, income statements, cash flow statements, and annual reports. The value of these documents lies in the story they tell when reviewed together.

Most especially the balance sheet because that is what determines the profitability of the organization and also the income flow statements should be considered

Finances are very important part of a business no matter the type of the business you are into. Be it a small business or a large business. You should always look at the financial analysis as it states everything about the inflows and outflows of the company and the areas that need urgent attention.

Nice and well stated write up. Starting a business is not as difficult as maintaining such business and make profits from such business. That's what people need to know.

I think starting a business and maintaining a business are two different things and the operation of both could be very difficult for the owner

We hope that, so far, we've made at least one thing clear: If you're in business, you need to understand financial statements.

A balance sheet shows a company's "book value." It enables you to see what services are available and how they were funded as of a certain date. It displays the company's assets, liabilities, and equity (essentially, what it owes, owns, and the amount invested by shareholders).
