Financial statement modeling is the process of connecting the three financial statements in Excel using formulas and functions. The process creates a three-statement model, which can then be used in more advanced types of financial analysis, including discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis, mergers and acquisitions, and leveraged buyouts (LBO). Linking the statements requires a solid understanding of accounting, finance, and Excel.
