Primarni cilj profitnega centra je predstavljati samostojno organizacijsko podenoto, ki deluje praktično neodvisno na trgu, nosi odgovornost za lastne stroške in prihodke ter jo je mogoče razširiti in postati investicijsko središče ali pa jo je mogoče obravnavati kot družbo znotraj podjetja. Pristop profitnega centra vključuje vse večjo ponovno vzpostavitev notranjega in zunanjega računovodstva, ki deluje kot povezovalni člen med dvema konceptoma računovodstva.
Profit Center Accounting pomaga pri odgovarjanju na naslednja vprašanja:
- Kolikšen je prihodek?
- Koliko znašajo stroški proizvedenega blaga?
- Koliko znaša stopnja prispevka?
- Koliko znašajo administrativni stroški in stroški prodaje?
- Kolikšen je dobiček iz poslovanja?
Analize ROI, EVA in denarnega toka so možne na ravni profitnega centra.
