Profitability analysis allows you to track, analyze, and forecast the profitability of business activity based on the categories that are most relevant to your business operations. Perhaps your business model relies heavily on a few large, key customer accounts, and so analyzing revenue and expenses by customer might be the most meaningful metric by which to drive your strategic plans and decisions. Or perhaps analyzing financial results by product or market is the most indicative driver of future performance.
