Three-Statement Financial Model: How the Statements Articulate

Every company reports its financial performance through three linked statements: the Income Statement (profitability over a period), the Cash Flow Statement (where the cash actually went) and the Balance Sheet (what the company owns and owes at a point in time). This simulator builds all three live from four business assumptions — revenue, gross margin, capex and dividend payout — as animated 3D waterfall and stacked-bar charts, then draws flowing particle streams that trace exactly how Net Income becomes the starting line of the indirect-method Cash Flow Statement, how the un-paid portion lands in Retained Earnings, and how Ending Cash becomes the Balance Sheet's cash balance. A live balance check confirms Assets always equal Liabilities plus Equity, no matter how the sliders are set — the defining property of properly articulated financial statements.
