Leadership is lonely.

The higher you climb, the higher the stakes, and the fewer people you can truly trust to help you cut through the complexity.

I’ve sat with founders at €2M ARR and with boards of billion-dollar family enterprises.

Different contexts but reality is the same:

• Blind spots no one dares point out.
• Cultures drifting because clarity slipped.
• Teams looking to you for answers you’re still trying to form yourself.

My work is to hold up the mirror and walk leaders like yourself back into clarity.

Sometimes that looks like a silent retreat.

Sometimes it’s a boardroom reset.

Sometimes it’s a series of 1:1 conversations.

But it’s always about one thing:

Turning the inner game of leadership into outer results.

And if you’ve actually read this far, it probably means something here spoke to you.

That recognition (the moment you see yourself in these words) is usually where the real work begins.

I work with scale-stage founders & CEOs above €150K MRR who are willing to grow themselves as much as their companies.

If that’s you, send me a DM saying “CLARITY” or even “Nikolas, I actually read your about section” and let’s talk!

"If you try to do your best, there is no failure." — Mike Farrell

Jeetain Kumar, MBA, FMVA®, ESG

Most finance students can read financial statements.

But only 10% truly understand how they connect.


THE THREE PILLARS OF FINANCIAL ANALYSIS

1. BALANCE SHEET - The Snapshot

It answers one critical question: 
What does the company own vs. owe?

Assets: Everything the company owns (cash, inventory, equipment)
Liabilities: Everything the company owes (loans, payables, debt)
Equity: What belongs to shareholders after paying all debts

The golden equation:
Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder's Equity

Pro Tip: A strong balance sheet has healthy assets and manageable liabilities.


2. INCOME STATEMENT - The Performance Report

This reveals your profitability story over a specific period.

It shows whether the company made or lost money.

The Journey:

→ Revenue: Total money earned from sales
→ Expenses: All costs incurred to generate that revenue
→ EBITDA: Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation & Amortization
(Shows operational efficiency)
→ EBIT: Earnings Before Interest & Tax
(Shows operating profit)
→ Net Income: The bottom line - final profit or loss


3. CASH FLOW STATEMENT - The Truth Teller

This is THE most important metric to judge a company.

It tracks actual cash movements, not accounting profits.

Three Categories:

→ CFO (Cash Flow from Operations):
Cash generated from core business activities
This should be consistently positive for healthy companies
→ CFI (Cash Flow from Investing):
Cash spent on or gained from assets (equipment, investments)
Often negative as companies invest in growth
→ CFF (Cash Flow from Financing):
Cash from loans, equity, or paid to shareholders
Shows how the company funds itself

The Ultimate Formula:
CFO + CFI + CFF = Total Cash Flow


4. THE CONNECTION THAT MATTERS

These three statements don't exist in isolation.

Net Income from the Income Statement flows to Equity on the Balance Sheet.

Cash Flow Statement reconciles the difference between profit and actual cash.

Assets purchased (Balance Sheet) create depreciation (Income Statement).

This interconnection reveals the complete financial story.


At FCP Consulting, I've mentored hundreds of students.

The ones who master these connections accelerate their careers fastest.

They don't just read numbers
they understand business reality.

I help students and professionals get into finance with executive coaching, career guidance, and financial education. KPMG Certified Financial Consultant | Risk & FP&A Specialist

Most people know the term “Investment Bank.”

Very few actually understand what it does.

Here’s the explanation of how investment banks works

Investment bank sits between two sides of the world:
- Investors (people with money)
- Issuers (companies that need money)

Think of it as the engine that 
keeps capital moving through the economy.

What Investment Banks Actually Do:
• Help corporations, governments, and PE firms raise capital (debt + equity)
• Connect investors who want to invest with companies that need funds
• Advise on IPOs, M&A, restructurings, private placements
• Build valuation models, structure deals, and ensure smooth execution
• Reduce risk, improve pricing, and create efficient access to capital markets

In simple words →
Investment banks are the 
bridge that transfers cash into opportunity.

And this is why careers in IB are so demanding,
you’re literally helping shape how money 
flows across industries, companies, and markets.

If you want to break into Investment Banking, start by mastering:
- Capital markets, Valuation, Financial modeling
- Deal process, Communication & presentation skills

Understanding this diagram is the first step.
Executing deals is the real game.


If you want a clear roadmap 
for entering IB as a student or early professional,
DM me “IB Guide” I’ll share a free step-by-step roadmap.
