Financial Reports
The Financial Reports page is a lightweight directory. It does not calculate a second set of figures; it opens the focused report that owns each accounting question.
Report groups
Performance
- Financial Summary — month-end management pack.
- Profit & Loss Statement — revenue, direct costs, operating costs, and profit for a period.
- Financial Actuals & Planned Overhead — current-year monthly actuals and planned overhead.
Position & cash
- Balance Sheet — assets, liabilities, and equity as of a date.
- Cash Flow Statement — cash movement by operating, investing, and financing activity.
- Account Balances — balances by account.
Working capital
- Aged Receivables — unpaid customer invoices by age as of a date.
- Aged Payables — supplier amounts due by age and due date.
Accounting detail
- Transaction Ledger — every transaction individually and its effect on balances.
Compliance
- Sales Tax / VAT Report — output and input tax for the selected filing period.
Accounting tools
- Financial Entries records accounting-aware items such as prepayments, payables, assets, owner contributions, and transfers.
- Bank Reconciliation checks each bank statement line against the payments recorded in autoGMS.
- Financial Settings controls supported reporting choices such as internal labour costing.
Date rules
Period reports use a start and end date. Snapshot reports such as Balance Sheet and Aged Receivables use an as-of date. Date boundaries and month groupings use the garage reporting timezone.
Do not expect profit, invoice, payment, cash, tax, and as-of balances to match automatically. They use different source records and date bases by design. Each report explains its own method and exclusions.
Exports and access
Open a report to use its export. The directory itself has no export or headline KPI because it does not own a financial calculation.
Financial Reports appear only when the feature and page permission are available. Financial Entries and Financial Settings keep their own access checks.
If you are new to the reports, start with Financial Summary, review Aged Receivables weekly, and use Profit & Loss Statement for period profitability. Consult your accountant for statutory filing decisions.
