It includes several P&L reports that will give you a quick summary of the financial health of your business.

Using the P&L Reports

The Monthly P&L Report shows you income and outgo for each project, for each month. There will be a different Monthly P &L Report for each year

The Job P&L Report shows you labor, material and subcontractor costs for each project, plus the total income from the project. As you start new projects, they will be added to the Job P&L Report.
