Income Statement
Note: This is an example of a format for the Income Statement from a monthly operating plan for a
company in its second year of revenues. This is purely illustrative and is not intended to reflect general
standards or a real-world scenario. This is intended to show the level of detail that an investor would
expect in an operating plan income statement for an enterprise software service company.
In a real operating plan, the revenue numbers would accurately reflect the growth in customers shown
in the metrics at the bottom, and all the other numbers would scale appropriately with that growth. In
your own plan, you need to develop and justify the key assumptions driving revenue growth and
expenses, and then present the numbers in a way that is suitable for your industry and business model.
Note: You can read my blog post for more information. >
