# Finance

**Finance** has **Business Finance** and **Business Expenses** views. Choose a month or year, then apply the period filter. The summary shows expected **income**, **expenses** and **net profit** excluding VAT, with corresponding totals including VAT. Its income view includes paid charges and active renewals expected in the selected period; expired services and pending hourly-support payments are not treated as collected income. Use the underlying payment records when you need to confirm cash received.

The Expenses area lists title, category, frequency, amount, any customer/service connection and actions. Add a new expense with its title, net and total amount, VAT rate, first date, frequency and fixed/variable type. You can associate it with customers or services where appropriate and mark it active. Recurring expenses are calculated from their first payment date; check the selected period when reviewing totals.

This is an operational view, not a replacement for your accounting records. A customer's [Financial Agreement](/docs/customers/financial), service price, [Renewals](/docs/renewals/overview), [Payment History](/docs/renewals/payment-history) and a sent [Offer](/docs/quotes/overview) each answer a different question.
