Profit & Loss
See your income and expenses for any period - your most important view of business performance.
The Profit & Loss (P&L) report shows how much money your business made and spent over a given period. It's the primary report for understanding whether your business is profitable.
Go to Accounting → Profit & Loss. The report defaults to last year, broken down by month.
Change the date range
Use the date picker to select any period. Presets include: this/last month, this/last quarter, this/last year, year-to-date, last 12 months, and last 30/60/90 days.
If you have multiple entities, use the entity dropdown to switch between them. The report shows one business at a time. To see your businesses side by side, choose By entity in the column selector.
What you're looking at
The report is organized into:
Income - all revenue that came into the business
Cost of Goods Sold - direct costs associated with your revenue (if applicable)
Gross Profit - income minus cost of goods sold
Expenses - operating costs broken out by category
Net Income - what's left after all expenses
Click any line item to drill into the General Ledger, the complete transaction-by-transaction record behind your reports, filtered to that account and period.
Columns and comparisons
Use the column selector to show a single Total only column, or to break the report down by month, quarter, year, or entity. Use the Compare dropdown to add a comparison to the previous period or previous year, with variance shown as a dollar amount or percentage.
Filters
Click Add filter to narrow the report by class or counterparty (vendor or customer).
Export
Use the download button in the top right to export the P&L as .xlsx or .pdf.
