Profit & Loss Statement
This is not a blank template. You enter your own real figures — each revenue line, your cost of goods sold and your operating expenses — and our AI builds a proper profit and loss statement: total revenue, gross profit, operating profit and net profit, each margin as a percentage, with every subtotal added up and the arithmetic shown so you can check it. Then a plain-English analysis explains what the numbers say about your business and gives three practical moves. Australian format, AUD, GST-exclusive. General information only, not financial or accounting advice — figures are your own.
Gross profit, operating profit and net profit are three different numbers, and a business can look comfortable at one of them and thin at another. Working out which is which — and what each margin actually comes to as a percentage — is the part a blank spreadsheet template hands straight back to you. Profit & Loss Statement is A$29 one-off: you supply your own figures for a period you nominate, and the AI returns a finished P&L for your business with every subtotal added up, every margin calculated, and the arithmetic printed where you can check it.
Delivery runs about five minutes, as an on-page report plus a Markdown download you can print to PDF or paste into Word. What lands there is built from your own numbers — revenue lines, cost of goods sold and operating expenses, each labelled and entered ex-GST — and two free AI revisions come with it.
The arithmetic is printed, not just the answer
A P&L is only worth having if you can see inside it. This one prints the addition behind each subtotal rather than dropping a total on you, and finishes with an explicit self-check line proving that revenue minus cost of goods sold minus expenses equals the net profit shown. When a figure looks wrong, you can trace it back to the line you typed instead of guessing where it came from.
Margins get the same handling. Gross, operating and net are each worked out as a percentage rather than left for you to divide out afterwards.
The detail you type in is the detail you get back
The statement is built from your lines one for one. Enter a single "Operating expenses: 48,000" and the statement carries one expense row. Enter rent, wages, insurance and software separately and each appears on its own line, all feeding the same operating profit figure. The output is Australian format, in AUD and GST-exclusive, using the labels an Australian bookkeeper or accountant would expect to see — and the form asks you outright whether the amounts you have typed include or exclude GST, so the basis is never left ambiguous.
Nothing is imported on your behalf. There is no bank feed, no Xero or MYOB connection, no ATO lookup and no benchmarking against industry data. The figures are yours; the AI organises them, totals them and shows its working.
What the analysis will and won't tell you
After the tables comes an explanation of what the figures suggest about the business, closing with three practical moves. It is written the way you would put it to a business partner rather than in accounting shorthand, and it works from what you entered and nothing else.
That last point also sets the boundary. This is general information, not financial or accounting advice, and it is neither a lodgement nor an audited set of accounts. Have a qualified accountant or registered tax agent read it before it carries any weight in a tax return, a loan application or anything else formal.

Frequently asked questions
The figures I've got include GST — what do I do with them?
The form asks you outright whether your amounts include or exclude GST, so answer it as it actually stands. The statement itself is produced GST-exclusive in Australian format, and the revenue, COGS and expense fields all ask for ex-GST amounts, so entering ex-GST figures throughout is the cleanest route.
I've put a cost under the wrong heading — can that be fixed?
Yes, and it is exactly what the two free AI revisions are for. You read the statement through, spot a line sitting under operating expenses that belongs in cost of goods sold, and ask for it moved. The statement is rebuilt from the corrected lines with the arithmetic shown again.
Does a balance sheet or a cash flow view come with it?
No. What you get is a profit and loss statement for the single period you nominate — revenue through to net profit, with the margins, the self-check line and the analysis. Assets, liabilities and cash movement sit outside it, and a second period would be a second order.
Can I hand this straight to the ATO or a lender?
Not as it stands. It is general information built from figures you entered yourself — not advice, not audited, not accountant-certified. It makes a well-organised starting point for a conversation with your accountant, tax agent or broker, but it should pass their review before it goes anywhere official.
Do I need accounting software set up before I order?
No. Nothing is connected or imported — you type in your revenue lines, cost of goods sold and operating expenses yourself. If your numbers currently live in a spreadsheet you maintain by hand or a folder of invoices, that is a workable starting point.
How fine-grained should my line items be?
Your call, and it decides the shape of what comes back. One combined expenses line produces one row; rent, wages, insurance and software entered separately produce four, each visible against the same operating profit figure. More lines gives you a more granular statement to read afterwards.
