Profit First, done right.
Profit First flips the usual formula. Instead of paying every bill and hoping something is left over, you take your profit first and run the business on what remains. I run my own firm on Profit First, and I help owners set it up in a way that fits their numbers.
Set up your accounts
Guidance on opening the separate accounts the system uses: Income, Profit, Owner's Pay, Tax, and Operating Expenses.
Set percentages from your real numbers
Target allocations based on your actual books, not a generic template.
Keep your books in sync in QuickBooks
Your Profit First accounts mapped in QuickBooks so your financials stay clean and easy to read.
Adjust as you grow
Regular check-ins to fine-tune your percentages as revenue, payroll, and goals change.
You don't have to figure it out alone or get it perfect on day one. We'll start where you are and build from there.
