    You get a clear, plain-English report, plus a short call to walk through it if you would like one.

Services

One Financial Performance Report, five clear views of your business

Built from your records and books, with every figure checked by hand.

The report

Financial Performance Report

A single, clear report on how your business is performing, delivered monthly, quarterly or annually. It contains the five sections shown here.

Profit and loss

Income against costs for the period, so you can see whether the business made or lost money, and where.

Sales

Revenue by month, product or service, and customer. Your best and worst sellers, and your slow periods.

Variance

Planned against actual figures by category, with overspending flagged. No plan? We compare each month against your past results instead.

Job profit

For each job, what you charged against what it cost in materials and labor, and which job types make or lose money.

Cash flow

Money in against money out each month, with a trend chart, and the largest and fastest-rising costs flagged.

Open the sample report

Your report's format may differ from this sample. The layout, sections and level of detail depend on your business and the records you provide.

No plan needed

Don't have a budget or plan? That's fine, and it's not a deal breaker. Without one, we compare each month against your past results instead.

Who it's for

Trades and contractors

Electrical, HVAC, plumbing and construction businesses that want to know which jobs actually make money.
