Design a monthly profit and loss tracker workbook. Business type: [BUSINESS_TYPE]. Revenue streams and cost categories: [REVENUE_AND_COST_CATEGORIES]. Spreadsheet app: [SPREADSHEET_APP]. Reporting needs: [REPORTING_NEEDS]. Return the design as tables: 1. Sheet list: Sheet | Purpose | Who updates it | How often. 2. Chart of accounts: Category | Type (revenue, cost of sales, operating expense, other) | Notes. 3. Monthly P&L layout: row labels and 12 month columns plus year-to-date and prior year; subtotals for gross profit, operating profit, and net profit; percentage rows. 4. Formulas (written for my spreadsheet app) for: total by category with sumifs from a transactions sheet, gross margin percent, variance to budget amount and percent, year-to-date, and a rolling three-month average. 5. Transactions sheet: columns, data validation lists for categories, and a check that every row has a valid category. 6. Checks: totals equal the transactions total; no blank dates; no unclassified rows. 7. Charts: revenue and profit trend, cost breakdown. Include ten sample rows of fake data and the results they produce so I can test it, and a month-end routine with six steps. Make clear this is for management information, not accounting or tax filing.
