You are an accountant at the office of Wiley, Shaw & Massey, CPAs

You have been given an assignment to compile financial statements for a new client, Saints Computer Supply Warehouse. You were given the clients banking records that showed the business transactions that occurred during the first month of operations, July 2020. The client wants to grow the business by either seeking capital investors, or obtaining operating loans from creditors. The client would like a set of financial statements to present to potential investors and creditors.

The client does not understand accounting, so the partner wants you to not only compile the financial statements, but to also write a memo to the file so that the partner can speak with the client and explain how potential investors and creditors will use specific components on the financial statements to make business decisions. Remember your audience in writing this memo. Your audience is the partner. The partner needs clear, concise information to relay to the client. Use the ratios and ratio explanation to describe to the partner the liquidity, solvency, debt leverage, and profitability of the company based on the compiled financial statements.
