Comparison of planned and actual income

The quality of a good plan can only be recognised when it is caught up with the present and the plan and actual can be compared. With the analysis, the potential revenues can be compared with the actual hours worked and their value, among other things. In this way you can see how well you have exploited your potential.

The planning can be linked to many elements such as receipts and the like.
