# Monthly Financial Summary

Want to compare your school's revenue across recent months, or get a quick overview of the finances? The monthly financial summary lets you keep tabs on your income at a glance.

## How to generate the summary

Go to the ***Reports*** tab. You land directly on the ***Dashboard*** with the summary table. Select the months you want to compare, then click ***Generate report***.

{% hint style="info" %}
The summary updates automatically — every time you open the *Dashboard*, the data will be refreshed.
{% endhint %}

## What the summary shows

You can compare the total revenue for a given month against previous months, and see the sum of all billings broken down by:

* Group courses,
* Individual courses,
* Camps,
* Events,
* Single events,
* Subvenue bookings \*.

\* if this option is available on your plan.
