G/L - CASH BASIS PROFIT REPORT

  This is the first topic This is the last topic JavaScript is required for the print function  

 
This Report is an ADDENDUM to your INCOME STATEMENT that breaks out SALES,
COSTS and PROFITS by individual Jobs. This Report is for Contractors who use the
Cash Basis Method of Financial Reporting.

GROSS PROFIT THIS YEAR equals BILLINGS THIS YEAR less COSTS THIS YEAR.

Since this method uses STRICTLY CASH THIS YEAR, the PROFIT PERCENTAGE does
NOT reflect performance on the Job as a whole.

In many cases, because of Retainage, Jobs are front loaded with Billings. If extra profits
were recognized in a PREVIOUS YEAR, then reduced profits, or a LOSS may appear
as a Job nears completion.
