Pie Charts: Represent the proportion of different categories of expenses or revenue sources.

Line Charts: Show the growth of net profit and other key performance indicators (KPIs) over a defined period.

Stacked Area Chart: Visualize multiple financial metrics (e.g., expenses and revenue) together to understand their correlation.

Slicers:
