Looks like my formatting got lost. Hopefully pasting a spreadsheet will work better. | | | | | Expenses | | | | | March | | | | | F&B | | | | AV] | | | | Meeting Rooms | | | July | | | | | F&B | | | | AV] | | | | Meeting Rooms | | | November | | | | | F&B | | | | AV] | | | | Meeting Rooms | | | | | | Income | | | | | March | | | | | Income | | | July | | | | | Income | | | November | | | | | Income | | | | |

If need be, the income accounts can be grouped with the expense accounts as Contra Accounts. When reporting, use the Income Statement(Multicolumn option under the Income & Expense group of reports. While in the report, you might want to click on Options and play around with them to see what works best for you. For example, I usually use a monthly period duration to see the expenses evolve over time, but some groups like weekly.

Just se up your tree so that your will be able to run the reports. YOU can "set tags" as part of the account's name. You have room rent for all three events? Then you have an account (under expense) with room rent (placeholder) having three children, event1-room-rent, event2 -room-rent, event3-room-rent. You can run a "statement of Revenues and expenses" for each even JUST including accounts with names starting event1, event2, event3.
