# Profit & Loss Report

> View your business's revenue, expenses, and profitability

## Overview

A Profit & Loss (P\&L) Report is a financial statement that summarizes the profitability (or lack thereof) for a business in a specific timeframe. The P\&L provides insight into the business’s financial performance by showing the overall profit or overall loss of the business for the specified timeframe, including where money was earned (income) and where money was spent (expenses).

The P\&L reflects the General Ledger (GL) accounts associated with each tracked transaction and journal entry. This financial statement can be customized to view and compare any of the tracked data. It can even be drilled down into to better understand all of the transactions and journal entries making up the total for each specific GL account within the reporting period.

on [Embedding Tight's white-labeled UI](/embeddable-ui/plain-js/patterns/embedding).

Below is an example JS embedding of the Profit & Loss Report:
