Unlike the monthly summaries endpoint which returns per-month breakdowns, this endpoint aggregates the entire specified period into one summary. Both date bounds are optional: omitting start_date uses the business activation date, and omitting end_date uses the current time. Omitting both returns an all-time summary. This endpoint is useful for dashboard cards showing aggregate financial metrics like total revenue, expenses, net profit, and uncategorized transaction counts. ## OpenAPI ````yaml get /v1/businesses/{businessId}/reports/profit-and-loss-summary openapi: 3.0.1 info: title: API version: latest servers: [] security: - BearerAuth: [] tags: [] externalDocs: url: / paths: /v1/businesses/{businessId}/reports/profit-and-loss-summary: get: tags: [] summary: Fetch P&L summary description: >- Returns a profit and loss summary for a single arbitrary date range.
