Five cards, no account.

Answer

The three statements are the income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement. The income statement shows profitability over a period of time: revenue, expenses, taxes, and net income. The balance sheet is a snapshot at a point in time and shows assets, liabilities, and shareholders' equity. The cash flow statement explains how cash changed over a period by separating operating, investing, and financing cash flows. A strong interview answer should also mention that the statements are linked: net income flows into the cash flow statement and retained earnings, while ending cash from the cash flow statement becomes cash on the balance sheet.
