Reports

Reports help you see the bigger picture. They summarize your invoices and expenses so you can understand how your business is doing over time.

Overview reports

An overview report shows money in and money out for a given time period. This gives you a quick sense of:

  • Total invoiced (what you billed clients for)
  • Total expenses (what you spent)
  • The difference between the two

This isn't a profit calculation (it doesn't account for taxes or unpaid invoices), but it's a useful snapshot.

Invoice reports

Invoice reports focus on what you've billed. You can see:

  • Number of invoices created
  • Total amount invoiced
  • List of individual invoices with details

This is useful when you want to know how much you've billed during a specific period.

Expense reports

Expense reports summarize what you've spent. They show:

  • Total spending for the period
  • Breakdown by category (if you use categories)
  • List of individual expenses

Combined with invoice data, this gives you a clearer view of your cash flow.

Filtering by date

When you create a report, you choose the date range. Common options include:

  • This month
  • Last month
  • This quarter
  • Custom date range

Pick the range that matches what you're trying to understand.

Exporting data

You can export report data to CSV. This is a spreadsheet-friendly format that works with Excel, Google Sheets, or any data tool.

Export is useful when you need to:

  • Share data with an accountant
  • Do your own analysis
  • Keep records outside Finvo

What reports don't do

Finvo reports are for visibility, not accounting compliance. They don't include:

  • Tax calculations — Reports don't compute taxes owed.
  • Accounting compliance — These aren't formal financial statements.
  • Forecasts — Reports show what happened, not what might happen.

For tax filing or formal accounting, work with a professional and use the export feature to share your Finvo data.
