No private company I have ever worked for as an employee has agreed to let me look at their balance sheet or income statement. Most would not even discuss valuation in terms other than # of shares in my offer, which is meaningless.

One CEO I recall even laughed when I asked at the interview (that should have been a red flag in retrospect). I later learned he gossiped about how inappropriate it was for a candidate to ask about company financials.

Same here. This information is only for investors and other "important" people. Most of us are not part of that group.
