How do you construct a statement of cash flow from income statements and balance sheets?

Constructing a statement of cash flow from income statements and balance sheet is no simple task and requires training. Most CPAs can do this, but not all. Unless you are a professional finance person or accountant, I suggest you hire an accountant to do this. Additionally, please be aware that financial statements prepared in accordnace with GAAP, usually include a cash flows statement with the income statement and balance sheet.
