An income statement, otherwise known as a profit and loss statement, basically adds an itemized list of all your revenues and subtracts an itemized list of all your expenses to come up with a profit or loss for the period.
An income statement allows you to...
-
Track revenues and expenses so that you can determine the operating performance of your business.
-
Determine what areas of your business are over-budget or under-budget.
-
Identify specific items that are causing unexpected expenditures. Like phone, fax, mail, or supply expenses.
-
Track dramatic increases in product returns or cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales.
-
Determine your income tax liability.
