What is an income statement and why do I need it?

And here’s our answer:

An income statement shows all of the revenue and expenses for your business for a specific time period. A quarterly income statement ending March 31, shows revenue and expenses for January, February and March; a monthly income statement shows the figures for a single month. It is important because it tells you if you are making money and can be used as a tool to analyze what areas of your business are profitable and which are costing you money.
