This video series will introduce you to the Financial Statement and Analysis Spreadsheet. In these videos, Kevin Bernhardt, Extension Farm Management Specialist with UW-Madison Division of Extension and Professor at UW-Platteville, provides information on completing the spreadsheet.  

The Extension Farm Financial Statement and Analysis Tools consists of Excel worksheets that:

  1. Provide a means and help in developing the financial statements: balance sheet, income statement, statement of cash flows, and statement of owner equity, and
  2. Automatically calculate and organize relevant financial ratios for analysis.

The Spreadsheet Tools are more involved than other calculators in that it offers an opportunity to input and connect all of your financial statements to conduct financial analysis of your farm business.  As with many spreadsheet tools, there are tradeoffs between simplification, accuracy, and depth.
