Revenue
Revenue is the total money a business earns from sales before any costs are subtracted. It is the top line of the income statement. Growing revenue means selling more work, and tracking it over time shows whether a business is expanding, holding steady, or shrinking.
Revenue is the money coming in from doing business. For a service company, it is the sum of all the jobs and sales in a period. It is the starting point for understanding financial health, though it is not the same as profit, which subtracts costs.
Tracking revenue by source, service, or period reveals what is working. If revenue is rising because more leads are converting or customers are returning, you know your sales and follow-up efforts are paying off.
