Inconsistent pandas output formatting

[addisonlynch]

Summary (include Python version)

From @amittleider:

it seems that from time to time, pandas dataframes are organized with the company as the column, and sometimes with the company as the row. I'm wondering what the logic is behind it? To me, it seems that financial statements should be a dataframe with a MultiIndex of company name and report date.

This is not expected behavior @amittleider, thank you for pointing it out. I haven't spent much time on output formatting, and I think this issue highlighted just how many inconsistencies there are.

MultiIndex is the best implementation in most cases, and we should likely check for consistency across the package.
