Financial Statement Books for IB

Hey everyone, I'm a sophomore in college, and I've been growing an interest for investment banking, and other related industries. I have already started my journey, studying technical books like IB by Pearl and more fun ones like Monkey Business but I feel like I need to sharpen up my financial statement/financial accounting skills and I was wondering is there a good books and/or online courses you would recommend. PS. Im looking for something in beginner/intermediate level, that covers the financial statements thoroughly and goes into how they are link. Thanks in advance.
