Research a public company and summarize their most recent annual revenue, profit, major expenses, and year-over-year change in a one-page report.
A vetted student researches a public company's most recent annual filing and produces a one-page financial summary with revenue, profit, major expense categories, and year-over-year percentage changes. Use this when you need a quick, cited financial snapshot without digging through SEC filings yourself—common for personal financial planning, vendor evaluation, or rapid company background research.

What you'll get
Company name, fiscal year end date (if non-calendar), and any specific expense categories you want highlighted (e.g., R&D, marketing, cost of goods sold). If you have a preference for which filing source (10-K, annual report, investor relations page), note that too.
Student locates the company's most recent annual filing (10-K, annual report, or equivalent), extracts revenue and net income figures, identifies top 3–4 expense line items, calculates year-over-year percentage changes, and composes a clear one-page narrative summary with inline citations.
One PDF report (max one page, single-spaced or 1.15 spacing) containing: headline figures (revenue, net income), major expense breakdowns as percentages or dollar amounts, YoY deltas in percentage terms, and footer with full source citations (filing date, company URL, SEC EDGAR link if applicable).
Your payment remains in escrow until you confirm the numbers match the source documents and the summary is clear enough for your intended use.
Common use cases
Investor doing quick diligence
A retail investor evaluating whether to buy a stock needs a digestible one-pager pulled from the latest annual report, no jargon.
Board prep for a competitive comparison
A nonprofit board member needs a one-page summary of a peer organization's most recent 990 for comparison at the next board meeting.
Supplier evaluation for procurement
A small-business owner is vetting a potential vendor and wants a quick financial health check—specifically whether the supplier's revenue and profit are stable or declining. The one-page summary gives them enough context to decide if a multi-year contract is safe.
Academic case study or class presentation
A student is writing a business school case study or preparing a class presentation on a real company and needs a reliable, cited financial baseline. The summary saves research time and ensures they have the right figures before diving into deeper analysis.
Real-estate or franchise due diligence
An entrepreneur evaluating a franchise or considering a real-estate investment near a major employer wants to understand that employer's recent financial stability. A one-page snapshot of their revenue and profitability helps assess local economic risk.
Frequently asked questions
Can the student pull data from Bloomberg, S&P Capital IQ, or other subscription databases, or must they use only free sources like SEC EDGAR?
Free sources (SEC EDGAR, company investor relations pages, Yahoo Finance) are preferred and sufficient for this project. If your student has access to a paid database, they may use it, but the final citations must point to publicly accessible sources so you can verify.
What if the company has multiple business segments with very different expense profiles—do I need the summary to break those down separately?
No. The summary focuses on consolidated company-wide figures (total revenue, net income, major expense categories). Segment breakdowns are out of scope; if you need segment analysis, that's a separate, larger project.
How far back should the student go for 'year-over-year change'—just the most recent two years, or further?
Compare the most recent completed fiscal year to the one immediately prior (two fiscal years total). If you want a three-year or five-year trend, that's out of scope for this tier.
If the company is international and reports in a foreign currency, will the summary convert to USD?
The student will report figures in the currency used in the annual filing and note that currency in the summary. If you need USD conversion, specify that upfront; currency conversion adds scope and may require a higher tier.
Am I allowed to request revisions if I want different expense categories highlighted or the tone adjusted?
One revision round is included to address unclear sections or missing minor details. Significant rewrites (e.g., switching from profit focus to cash-flow focus, or adding new company comparisons) exceed scope and require a new project.
