Any way to see net instead of gross in Revenue in hledger? (self.plaintextaccounting)

In hledger I have my income set up like income:job:main (gross) and taxes are in expenses:job:tax, so when I run: $ hledger is -t job I can see my net value for my work and if I run $ hledger is -t other expenses come into play as well.

Sometimes though, I would like to be able to see the income statement view with my net for my job under Revenues and the rest of my expenses under Expenses. Is there any easy way to do this with an alias or similar?
