Change the way you look at bookkeeping with Profit First.

According to GAAP, or Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, the proper formula for determining a business’ profit is to take your total revenue and subtract your expenses, leaving you with your profit. In other words:

Sales - Expenses = Profit

This formula is widely accepted for calculating profits. While it seems simple, logical, and clear – there is a better way! 

Sales - Profit = Expenses

The traditional business formula creates a cycle of sales vs. expenses which causes business owners to struggle to make ends meet. By taking only what is left over at the end of the month as profit, many succumb to the pressure and close their doors.

Parkinson's Law

Parkinson’s Law is a theory that states that the demand for a resource increases the needs to meet the supply of it. For example: if your organization operates on a $5000 maximum budget to complete a project, your team will most likely end up spending all $5000 to complete the task.

The Profit First model makes a clear distinction on what resources are absolutely necessary and what is going back to the business owner.

This challenges employees to find new ways to better manage the company’s resources. In the end, you reap the benefits of a more capable, efficient team – while achieving greater profits.

You work hard - you deserve to make a profit that makes it all worth it. 

By turning the traditional formula for calculating profits on its head, Profit First is the optimal way to manage your business and maximize your returns. 

Profit First teaches business owners an established method to set aside profits in separate accounts, alleviating the temptation to “borrow” funds from profits. This forces business owners to adapt and improve their operating strategies while allowing for regular profit distributions.
