Stop Running a Profitable Business That Has No Cash
Profit First® flips the formula: take your profit first, then run the business on what’s left. We help you install the system and build the habits.
Revenue Is Up. So Why Is There No Cash?
Your P&L says you’re profitable. But every month you’re scrambling to cover payroll, chasing receivables, and wondering where the money went. Sound familiar?
Most founder-led companies run on the “bank balance” method: check the account, spend what’s there. It works when you’re small, but it breaks as you grow.
Profit First® is a cash management system (based on the bestselling book by Mike Michalowicz) that uses behavioral psychology to build financial discipline — automatically.
What Profit First® Gives You
- ✓ Guaranteed profit every quarter — not just on paper, in the bank
- ✓ Clear cash flow visibility without complex financial models
- ✓ Healthy owner’s compensation built into the system
- ✓ Tax reserves set aside automatically — no year-end surprises
- ✓ Operating expense discipline that improves margins naturally
How Profit First® Works
Instead of Revenue − Expenses = Profit, we flip it: Revenue − Profit = Expenses. Simple behavioral change, massive financial impact.
Taken first, every allocation cycle. Non-negotiable.
Your compensation, separate from business expenses.
Set aside every cycle. No surprises at year-end.
What’s left runs the business. Constraints breed efficiency.
