Why Profit Loss Statement is so important?
Profit Loss Template tells you how much profit you’re making, or losing. Use this tool to develop sales targets and an appropriate price for your goods or services.
A P&L statement is one of the three types of financial statements prepared by companies (P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow).
The purpose of that statement is to show a company’s revenues and expenditures over a fiscal year. This information is important for investors and analysts to assess the profitability of the company, often combined with insights from the other two financial statements.
Pre-made Expense Categories
To make your work easier, there’s a template with ready-made categories. In the costs tab, there are 6 cost categories at your disposal, each with 5 items. It gives you 60 different cost items in total to use, each can be modified by you.
