Financial Reporting for Small Business and Nonprofit Organizations
The totals tell you how the business is doing. The details tell you why.
Accurate books become much more valuable when the numbers are organized into reports or dashboards. We don’t believe in simply producing reports and leaving you to figure them out. You will get clear explanations that show what changed, where your money is going, and what may need your attention.

QuickBooks Online in your financial reporting
Your Profit & Loss Statement shows how much your business earned, what it spent, and whether it produced a profit during a specific period. More importantly, comparing results from month to month or year to year can reveal trends in revenue, expenses, margins, and profitability.
Your Balance Sheet provides a snapshot of the financial strength of your business. It shows what the company owns, what it owes, and the equity that remains. Changes in cash, debt, receivables, liabilities, and equity can tell a much bigger story than the numbers alone.
A business can be profitable on paper and still run short of cash. Cash flow reports help show where cash is coming from and where it is going. Looking ahead, cash flow forecasting can help identify periods when cash may become tight, upcoming expenses that need to be planned for, and whether the business is positioned to take on additional expenses or investments.
A/P Aging reports show what your business owes and when those bills are due. A/R Aging reports show who owes you money and how long those invoices have been outstanding. Together, these reports can help you manage collections, payments, and short-term cash needs.
Depending on how your books are set up, reports can show profitability by customer, job, service, class, location, or other areas of the business. Sales reports can show which customers, products, or services generate the most revenue, while expense reports can help identify where money is being spent.
QuickBooks Online lets us expand standard financial reports into more useful views of your business. Instead of looking only at company-wide results, reports can be organized and compared by customer, job, project, class, location, or fund, depending on how your books are structured. This helps you see not only where the company is headed, but also which parts of the business are driving that direction.
