Plain-English CPA answer
Business bank statements show deposits, withdrawals, transfers, fees, loan payments, and cash movement that should reconcile to the books.
Complete statements let a CPA verify whether financial reports match actual cash activity. For restaurants in The Woodlands, tip reporting, merchant deposits, delivery-app payouts, local meals-tax handling, and weekend payroll timing make the review more specific than a general tax article.
