Financial Statement
Create a custom Financial Statement Template 2009 that meets your industry’s specifications.
What a Financial Statement does
A Financial Statement records a person’s or organization’s financial position for a specific legal, lending, tax, or business purpose. It usually organizes assets, liabilities, income, expenses, and supporting details so an authorized reviewer can assess financial condition. The exact fields depend on the issuing organization or transaction; there is no single nationwide Financial Statement form. In signNow, upload the document, review detected fields, route it to signers, and retain the completed copy with its audit trail. Confirm any required format or deadline with the requesting agency, lender, court, or business.
Who uses a Financial Statement
Financial Statements serve different reviewers, so the sender should match the workflow to the document’s purpose and requested information.
Solo accountants use a Financial Statement to collect a client’s organized income, asset, liability, and expense information before preparing a lending, tax, or business submission. Small-business finance teams route owner and officer signatures through signNow, preserving the completed Financial Statement and audit trail for lenders, investors, or transaction reviewers. Enterprise legal, finance, and compliance departments use controlled templates and delegated sending when multiple business units must complete Financial Statements under an internal approval process.
These tasks are executed by both individual contributors and centralized administrators depending on organizational policy and required controls.

When an electronic signature is valid
For a business Financial Statement, an electronic signature can carry the same legal effect as a handwritten signature when the signer intends to sign, consents to electronic records, can be identified, and the record remains reproducible. The federal ESIGN Act, 15 U.S.C. ch. 96, and applicable state law, including UETA or New York ESRA, provide the framework. ESIGN exceptions include wills, court orders, and certain family-law documents.
Features for Financial Statement workflows
signNow organizes Financial Statement preparation, signer routing, authentication, and recordkeeping around the information reviewers need.
Field detection
Upload an existing Financial Statement and review signNow’s detected fields before routing the document. This reduces manual placement work while keeping the signer’s financial entries visible for review.
Role assignment
Assign income, asset, liability, and signature fields to specific participants so each person completes only the Financial Statement sections relevant to them.
Remote signing
Collect signatures through a web or mobile workflow while preserving the completed Financial Statement as an electronic record for authorized reviewers.
Audit trail
Use the audit trail to document signer actions, timestamps, and the signing sequence associated with the completed Financial Statement.
Signer authentication
Use SMS OTP or another configured authentication method when the Financial Statement contains sensitive income, asset, or debt information.
Secure storage
Store the signed Financial Statement and completion evidence together so later reviewers can reproduce the executed record and its signing history.

Financial Statement preparation challenges
Leaving asset, liability, income, or expense fields blank can prevent the reviewer from evaluating the Financial Statement. Entering figures without the requested period or supporting records can make the Financial Statement difficult to verify. Sending the statement to the wrong signer can weaken attribution and delay approval of the financial information. Saving the signed statement without its completion certificate can make later review of the signing event more difficult.
Risks from incomplete statements
Reviewer delay
Inaccurate assessment
Evidence weakness
Record challenge
Financial Statement troubleshooting
Resolve signing, authentication, compliance, and plan questions before the Financial Statement reaches its reviewer.
signNow’s Business plan supports templates, audit trails, mobile apps, and legally binding eSignatures. Upload the Financial Statement, review detected fields, and add any missing asset, liability, or signature fields before sending.
Business Premium includes bulk send, which is useful when the same Financial Statement must be distributed separately to multiple recipients. Each recipient’s completed record and audit trail should still be reviewed individually.
For a Financial Statement containing protected health information, signNow identifies HIPAA compliance as requiring a business associate agreement. Confirm the BAA and your organization’s controls before sending PHI.
The signNow audit trail records the signing event and document history. For evidence under ESIGN and UETA, also preserve signer intent, electronic-record consent, attribution, and the ability to reproduce the completed Financial Statement.
If fields are detected incorrectly, compare every field with the original Financial Statement before sending. Correct labels, signer assignments, and required fields manually so income, asset, and liability information reaches the right reviewer.
Business pricing is $8 per user per month when billed annually, while Business Premium is $15 and Enterprise is $30. Each subscription plan includes 100 signature invites per user annually; confirm overage terms before high-volume use.
