Business Overview Reports ​

Business Overview reports provide a comprehensive summary of your company’s overall financial performance and health during a specific period. They highlight revenue, expenses, profits, cash flow, assets, liabilities, and equity—giving you a clear picture of how your business is doing.

In BeeBooks, you can generate the following reports under Business Overview:

Profit and Loss ​

The Profit and Loss report (also known as an Income Statement) summarizes your income and expenses over a given period, showing whether your business has made a profit or incurred a loss.

This report includes:

  • Operating Income – Revenue received from sales transactions with customers.
  • Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) – The direct costs of purchasing or manufacturing goods sold to customers.
  • Operating Expenses – Expenses incurred in running your business (e.g., Advertising Expense, Automobile Expense, Utilities).
  • Non-Operating Income/Expense – Income or expenses not directly related to core business operations (e.g., dividend income, exchange rate losses).
  • Net Profit/Loss – The final outcome after deducting all expenses from all income.

Cash Flow Statement ​

The Cash Flow Statement shows how cash moves in and out of your business during a specific period. It helps you understand liquidity and how your operations, investments, and financing activities impact your cash balance.

It is broken down into:

  • Cash Flow from Operating Activities – Cash generated or used from daily business activities (e.g., Net Income, Accounts Receivable, Inventory adjustments).
  • Cash Flow from Investing Activities – Cash used in or received from asset purchases and investments (e.g., buying office equipment, selling assets).
  • Cash Flow from Financing Activities – Cash received or spent on loans, equity contributions, or debt repayments.
  • Net Change in Cash – The total result of all three activity types, showing whether cash increased or decreased.

Balance Sheet ​

The Balance Sheet summarizes your company’s financial position at a specific date. It is divided into three main categories:

  • Assets – What the company owns (e.g., Cash, Accounts Receivable, Current Assets).
  • Liabilities – What the company owes (e.g., Current Liabilities, Loans).
  • Equity – The owner’s or shareholders’ interest in the business.

This report follows the basic accounting equation:
Assets = Liabilities + Equity

Movement of Equity ​

The Movement of Equity report shows how the equity (net worth) of your business has changed over a particular period.

It consists of:

  • Opening Balance – The equity recorded at the beginning of the period.
  • Changes in Equity – Adjustments such as Capital Stock, Current Year Earnings, Distributions, Dividends Paid, Drawings, Investments, Retained Earnings, and other owner’s equity adjustments.
  • Closing Balance – The equity recorded at the end of the period.

Note:

  • Clicking Current Year Earnings opens the Profit and Loss report for the selected period.
  • Clicking any other item opens the respective transaction report for more details.
