Financial statement preparation
Financial statement preparation from Finbryn is the non-attest work of building a full profit and loss, balance sheet, cash flow statement and notes from a US company's own books, formatted for a lender, an early investor or a board. Finbryn prepares these statements; an independent, licensed accounting firm issues any audit report separately required.
What is included
- A full profit and loss statement for the period requested
- A balance sheet reconciled to supporting schedules for every account
- A cash flow statement that reconciles to the change in cash on the balance sheet
- Supporting notes explaining any balance that needs context
- A clear statement of the basis of accounting used, cash or accrual
- Statements formatted specifically for the intended reader: lender, investor, or board
- Prior-period comparison figures where relevant
- A clean handoff package for an independent firm when an attest report is required
The process
- 1.
Confirm the reader and the basis
We identify who the statements are actually for, a lender, an investor, or a board, and agree the basis of accounting, cash or accrual, that fits both the reader's expectations and the underlying books.
- 2.
Reconcile the underlying ledger
Every bank, card, loan and balance sheet account is tied to a supporting schedule or statement before any figure is treated as final, since a statement built on an unreconciled ledger is not actually finished work.
- 3.
Build the three statements
Profit and loss, balance sheet and cash flow statement are drafted from the reconciled ledger under the agreed basis, with the cash flow statement checked to reconcile against the change in cash on the balance sheet.
- 4.
Draft supporting notes
Any balance that needs context, a related-party loan, a one-time item, a policy change, gets a short plain-English note rather than being left for the reader to question.
- 5.
Internal review
A senior reviewer checks the statements for internal consistency and readability before anything is delivered, catching the kind of error that only shows up when someone reads the full set together rather than line by line.
- 6.
Deliver and, where needed, hand off
The final statement set is delivered directly to you. When an independent accounting firm will issue an attest report, we assemble the trial balance and schedules that firm needs and coordinate the handoff so it does not route entirely through you.

Quality control
On top of that internal review, every deliverable is reviewed by a senior reviewer before delivery, a second layer of scrutiny most outsourced providers do not apply.
Pricing
Financial statement preparation is generally scoped inside the Growth or Scale tier on the published US rate card at /us/pricing, with Scale covering the multi-entity, controller-level, and custom chart of accounts work that heavier statement work usually requires. A one-off engagement tied to a single lender or investor request can be scoped separately. Exact fees are confirmed in writing before work begins; the rate card is the reference point, not a quote.
