Go to register reports and select it marked in green.
Now select the Monthly Sales Summary
Now I would suggest that you work in financial years for formal reporting so you are inline with your accountant's figures, no point in duplicating the wheel. So here I selected two years to give you a comparison. Note you can use more if you like as the choice is yours. I tend to think too many years are confusing and prefer to keep it simple.
Now pops out a detailed report among which you will see a breakdown by dissection and month the sales this year to last year.

Here you can easily see, which is changing in your sales.
