Page layout
- Filters: pick start/end dates, choose revenue basis (grand total vs. net of discounts), and decide whether to include only SALE orders and subtract returns/refunds.
- Header metrics: net income, gross margin, operating margin, EBITDA, each showing comparison to the previous period.
- Statement table: expandable sections for Revenue, COGS, Operating Expenses, and calculates Gross Profit, Operating Income, and Net Income. Columns show current period, previous period, change, year-to-date, and previous year.
- Accounting notes: reminders on how revenue and COGS are derived, plus how expenses flow through the statement.
How to use it
- Set the appropriate period (month, quarter, custom) with the date pickers.
- Choose the revenue settings that match your accounting method (grand total vs. net, include/exclude non-sale orders, include returns).
- Review the metric cards to gauge the month’s profitability and margin shifts.
- Expand each section to drill into category-level totals (e.g., product vs. service revenue, specific expense groupings).
- Export the data to CSV (top-right) if you need to share with accountants or import into your ledger.
Tips
- Compare the current month to the previous period to confirm you’re tracking toward goals.
- Use the year-to-date column for budgeting check-ins midyear.
- Pair the P&L with the Assets & Liabilities report to understand how profit links to your balance sheet.
Troubleshooting
- Report shows zeros: confirm you’re logged into the right organization and that revenue/expense data exists for the selected date range.
- Numbers look off: adjust the revenue basis or include/exclude returns to match your accounting policy.
