๐Ÿ“Š Understanding Your P&L Report in the Hedgi App

What it shows, why it matters, and how to actually use it.

Your Profit & Loss Statement (P&L) is the single most important report in small business bookkeeping. It tells you whether youโ€™re actually making money โ€” and how much of it is taxable.

In Hedgi, your P&L is generated automatically from your categorized transactions. No spreadsheets, no formulas, no stress.

๐Ÿงพ Whatโ€™s Included in the Hedgi P&L?

Every P&L report in Hedgi follows a clear, tax-ready format:

  • ๐Ÿ“ฅ Income
    Total business revenue from connected accounts (Stripe, bank deposits, etc.)

  • ๐Ÿ“ค Expenses
    Categorized by type (Advertising, Travel, Office Supplies, etc.)
    Includes both deductible and non-deductible items

  • ๐Ÿ’ฐ Net Profit (or Loss)
    The total thatโ€™s left over โ€” this is what gets taxed if youโ€™re a sole prop, LLC, or passthrough entity

๐Ÿ” Where to Find It

  • On Mobile: Tap the โ€œHomeโ€ tab to see your last monthโ€™s P&L summary

  • On Web: Go to Reports โ†’ Monthly Profit & Loss

You can tap into any line item to see the transactions that make it up.

โœ… Why It Matters (Beyond Just Taxes)

A clear P&L doesnโ€™t just help at tax time โ€” it helps you run a smarter business year-round.

  • Spot overspending (subscriptions, meals, etc.)

  • Track growth month over month

  • Prepare for loans or grants

  • Prove income for a mortgage or investment

๐Ÿ“ค Need to Send It to Your Accountant?

Hedgi makes it one tap to export your P&L as a clean PDF or spreadsheet.
Perfect for tax prep, audits, or just record-keeping.
