Mizan Retail: Sales Up, Profit Down — Journals, Trial Balance and Budget

Mizan Retail LLC, a UAE grocery chain, from January 2024 to September 2026: every journal its ERP posted - weekly store takings by category, supplier invoices and payments, payroll, rent, electricity accrued and reversed, depreciation, store fit-outs, insurance, interest, tax and dividends - plus the 2025 and 2026 budgets by month, cost centre and account. Sales grew; profit did not keep up. Build the trial balance, put the P&L next to last year and budget, separate fixed from variable costs, and find out why. The first step on the findi360 finance ladder: the ledger behind every report.
