Profit and loss reports, also called income statements, offer a window into your business’s health. The report summarizes your financial performance over a period of time – such as monthly, quarterly, or annually. It is an important step in identifying the areas producing the greatest revenue, as well as the highest costs. This glimpse at profitability can be pivotal when making important decisions. Shedding light on areas to reduce expenses and increase profits will have tremendous benefits to your success.
