Bukkit has the method getKeys(false), that you can call on a ConfigurationSection to get all nodes inside it. The usage of this api is simple:

public class MyPlugin extends JavaPlugin {
    public void onEnable(){ 
        Set<String> keys = this.getConfig().getConfigurationSection("simpleco").getKeys(false);
    }
}

The set called keys will now contain expenses and revenue.

You can then do a for loop over it so you can read all the things:

ConfigurationSection sec = this.getConfig().getConfigurationSection("simpleco")
Set<String> keys = sec.getKeys(false);
for(String key : keys) {
    int value = sec.getInt(key);
    System.out.println(key + "=" + value);
}
