Frequently Asked Questions
Can I generate profit & loss reports in FreshBooks accounting software?
Absolutely. FreshBooks financial reporting software makes it easy to keep a close eye on your company’s bottom line thanks to Profit & Loss Reports (also known as income statements) you can whip up in seconds. An income statement or Profit & Loss Report is one of the three crucial financial reports used to track a company’s financial status, performance and results over a specific accounting period. The other two key financial statements are the Balance Sheet and the Cash Flow Report.
You can run a Profit & Loss report for any time range by going to the Reports section of your account and selecting “Profit & Loss” under “Accounting Reports”. Your Profit & Loss report will be broken into several sections to make income and expense tracking easier. The “Income” section is broken down by Sales, Other Income, and Cost of Goods Sold. The “Expenses” section will display all of your Expenses during your selected date range. The “Net Profit” section will show your income minus your expenses to give you a total amount earned.

How can I see, at-a-glance, all the time my team and I have tracked?
Your financial reporting solution isn’t complete without the Time Entry Details Report. It shows you all the time you and your team (including contractors) have tracked over a specified period. You can customise this report to show you a particular range of time entries, along with their notes, using optional filters.
You can run a Time Entry Details Report in the Reports section of your FreshBooks account by clicking on Time Entry Details under Time Tracking Reports. Once you’ve run your report, you can adjust your view through several filters: Date Range, Group, Client, Currency, and Amount.
Once you’ve adjusted your report to a view that makes the most sense for you, you can then export your report to Excel or print it.
Does FreshBooks have a financial report that can show me how much sales tax I collect and how much I spend?
Yes! The Sales Tax Summary financial statements show you how much you’ve paid in taxes on Expenses over a certain period and how much you’ve collected. In terms of financial reporting, the sales tax report is essential at tax time.
You can run a Sales Tax Summary Report and other financial reports in the Reports section of your FreshBooks financial reporting software account by selecting Sales Tax Summary under Accounting Reports.

When you have adjusted your report using the appropriate filters, you can export it to Excel or choose to print it.
What is the Cash Flow financial report?
Cash Flow Reports (or cash flow statements) use business analytics and past data to show you exactly how much cash your company has on hand. It also shows you all money, entering (e.g. collect payment online) and leaving your business (e.g. paying rent or lease bills). This includes any operating expenses or other expenses that depreciate over time. A Cash Flow Report is one of the three critical financial statements used to report your company’s financial performance or results over a specific accounting period. The other two crucial financial statements are the Balance Sheet and the Profit & Loss Report (income statement). Using and understanding these reports is an essential part of any business reporting process.
