Gauges are good ways to show Business KPI's (Key Performance Indicators). with a Gauge, there is generally a single measure that can be compared with ranges to show if the measure is good, bad or somewhere in between.

Multi-series Bar charts

With GQD, creating queries becomes simple

Contained Bar Charts show 2 values, a Target (outer bar value) and an actual.

The colours of each are customizable. for expenses, you want to keep actuals UNDER target, so where the actual (inner bar) exceeds the target, the threshold colour can be set. for Sales / positive targets, it is desirable to see the target exceeded, so setting the threshold colour would be inverse to something like negative targets (expenses).

Gantt Charts are typically used for project management and show project milestones, dates, etc.
