据财务报表

You usually drop this right at the beginning of your sentence. It acts like a formal introduction to the data you’re about to share. For example, if you want to say the profit is up, you’d start with 据财务报表. It’s like saying, 'Hey, look at the paper in my hand.' You can also use it in written reports or emails to sound more authoritative. It’s very punchy and gets straight to the point.

This phrase is a star in the office. Use it during quarterly reviews, investor pitches, or when you're analyzing a competitor. If you're a student, use it in your economics or business papers to impress your professor. Even at home, if you and your partner are serious about your savings, you might use it to discuss your monthly spending. It adds a layer of 'I mean business' to any conversation about money.

Don’t use this for things that aren’t about money or official records. You wouldn't say 据财务报表 to explain why you were late for dinner. That would be super weird unless you’re trying to make a very dry joke about your gas money. Also, avoid it in very casual settings where people are just hanging out. It’s a bit too stiff for a karaoke night. If you use it there, people might think you’ve forgotten how to turn off your 'work mode.'

In China, the business world has moved fast from 'Guanxi' (relationships) to 'Data.' While relationships still matter, the modern Chinese professional is obsessed with KPIs and transparency. Using phrases like 据财务报表 shows that you are part of this new, professional wave. It reflects a culture that values efficiency and verifiable results. In cities like Shanghai or Shenzhen, being data-driven is a sign of high competence.

The most common full version is 根据财务报表 (gēnjù cáiwù bàobiǎo). If you want to be even shorter, especially in news headlines, you might see 据财报 (jù cáibào). Another one is 据报表显示 (jù bàobiǎo xiǎnshì), which means 'according to what the statements show.' They all pretty much do the same job, but 据财务报表 is the perfect middle ground for most professional situations.
