Revenue - Credit Card jumped to $27,274 in December, up $9,844 from November — the biggest single driver of the revenue increase.
Cash or Check Deposits also rose sharply, climbing from $6,000 in November to $11,234 this month.
A new Merchant Refund of $190 came in this month; it was $0 in November and has no prior average, so it appears to be a one-time item.

Inventory Purchases - Fuel/Wholesale more than doubled, rising $11,634 from $6,543 in November to $18,177 in December — the single largest expense jump this month.
Cash short/over hit $3,000, up from $800 last month and well above the 3-month average of $267, adding meaningful cost that goes straight to the bottom line.
Credit Card Processing Fee came in at $1,202 after showing $0 in November, and Taxes and Licenses added $918 that also did not appear last month.

Cash short/over at $3,000 is nearly 11 times its 3-month average of $267 — worth investigating whether this reflects a counting error, theft, or a one-time adjustment.
Revenue - Credit Card at $27,274 is more than four times its 3-month average of $6,073 — great for revenue, but worth confirming all transactions are accounted for.
Cash or Check Deposits of $11,234 is well below its 3-month average — if cash sales are normally higher, it may be worth checking whether some deposits shifted to card collections.
