About this skill

Problem

When reading an income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement, the hard part is often not computing ratios, but deciding which account changes deserve follow-up: liquidity stress, gross and operating margin shifts, or cash flow coverage of operating needs. financial-report-interpreter turns statement inputs into a readable interpretation layer, moving the analysis from raw numbers to signals that need questions.

How It Works and Boundaries

Input: income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, or statement-like text fields.
Core output: plain-language signals, ratio commentary, and management follow-up questions.
Use cases: structured financial statement review, checklist-style questions, or internal recap templates.
Example prompts: Explain what this balance sheet says about liquidity., What should I worry about in this cash flow statement?
Boundary: it is a descriptive interpretation aid, not connected to external accounting systems, and does not replace audit, compliance, or investment conclusions.
Engineering view: it acts like an upstream summarizer for statement analysis, flagging what to investigate before involving ledgers, databases, or valuation models.
