๐ 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 youโre 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.
๐งพ Whatโs Included in the Hedgi P&L?
Every P&L report in Hedgi follows a clear, tax-ready format:
๐ฅ Income
Total business revenue from connected accounts (Stripe, bank deposits, etc.)๐ค Expenses
Categorized by type (Advertising, Travel, Office Supplies, etc.)
Includes both deductible and non-deductible items๐ฐ Net Profit (or Loss)
The total thatโs left over โ this is what gets taxed if youโre a sole prop, LLC, or passthrough entity
๐ Where to Find It
On Mobile: Tap the โHomeโ tab to see your last monthโs 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.
โ Why It Matters (Beyond Just Taxes)
A clear P&L doesnโt just help at tax time โ it helps you run a smarter business year-round.

Track growth month over month
Prepare for loans or grants
Prove income for a mortgage or investment
