According to GAAP, or Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, the proper formula for determining a business’s 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!
A Smarter Way to Do Business
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. Thus, 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.
