Find your trade
Gross margin, overhead and net profit for the 48 trades that publish figures, across all 7 revenue bands. The other 11 have no survey of their own, so their pages show the nearest comparable trade's figures, labelled as derived.
THE FULL REFERENCE
Run On CFOS publishes the full benchmark reference: 48 trades across all 7 revenue bands, $1M to $500M and above. The 4 bands above $25M are modeled and labeled that way in every table, and no CFOS target is published for them. Run On CFOS computes net profit as gross margin minus overhead, before taxes.
