Gemini 3.5 Flash vs Grok 4.5 for bookkeeping

First, £11,600 of your sales is still owed to you by two customers, meaning you haven't actually received that money yet. 

Second, you spent cash on items that do not reduce your profit figure: £6,000 paid upfront for next season's marquee, £3,400 for the trailer, and £2,500 you took out for yourself.
