The Profit & Loss (P&L) statement — also called an Income Statement — shows how much money your business made or lost over a period.
Key sections of your P&L
- Revenue — Total sales income from all invoices in the period
- Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) — Direct costs of producing what you sold
- Gross Profit — Revenue minus COGS
- Operating Expenses — Rent, salaries, utilities, and other overheads
- Net Profit / Loss — What's left after all expenses

💡Tip: Review your P&L at least monthly. A healthy business tracks gross margin trends — if your gross profit % is falling, your pricing or costs need attention.
