Your problem in not finding a suitable report could be from looking in
the wrong place. This would NOT be a "profit and loss" sort of report.
Check out the possibilities of the "cash flow" reports that gnucash offers.
Cash flow and profit and loss very different kettle of fish, measure
different things. An entity could be very profitable but run into cash
flow problems (not enough on hand at some point to meet an immediate
need) or on the other hand, have plenty of ready cash but bleeding
losses like crazy.
