December's revenue ran hot, landing between $7,099 and $7,689 across four transactions when your typical range sits closer to $1,971–$5,566 . That's a meaningful spike, not just noise. Worth looking into whether those came from repeat customers scaling up, new one-time projects, or a seasonal pattern that could repeat next year.

Payroll jumped in October, hitting between $2,121 and $2,237 when you normally run $1,124–$1,850. Four separate instances all landed above the expected band, which could point to a hiring event, overtime, bonuses, or a payroll cycle catching two periods in one month. If the December revenue surge and the October payroll spike are connected (ramping up before a busy season), that's the pattern to name when you sit down with your accountant, because it tells you whether the spike was an investment that paid off or just timing overlap.
