Can I add more revenue streams or cost categories? +
Yes. The workbook is fully unlocked. Add rows to any section and the totals automatically incorporate them.
Does it support multi-currency? +
It's built for single-currency reporting. You can add a conversion column easily, or contact us for a custom multi-currency version.
