The Profit First System Philosophy

As an entrepreneur, have you ever found yourself covering operational expenses, overhead costs, and employee wages but leaving little to pay yourself? Unfortunately, despite the efforts and passion given to a business, many entrepreneurs are often left short when paying themselves.

Profit First is a game changer that offers a fresh perspective for cash management, guiding entrepreneurs to reframe their budget and revenue by putting profit before expenses, and not just making sure they break even.

It is a revolutionary way of looking at your business’s finances. As mentioned, it focuses on the profitability of the business, first and foremost, placing profit as the priority in financial decision-making. This method ensures that owners are not only able to pay themselves but also create a strong and healthy business.

Business Owner Manual

The Profit First book is a manual for business owners who want to transform their business and claim increased profits that have been rightfully earned. A physical copy of the Profit First book can become your handbook, no matter what stage your business is in. With your physical copy, take notes, highlight your favourite sections, and then put ideas into practice with the help of AccountedFor’s bespoke workshops and tutorials. Become one of the Profit First Professionals!

This method helps business owners to prioritize their profits, which can be difficult for entrepreneurs who are new to the game. It helps them to think like a CEO: making more profit-oriented decisions that will benefit their business in the long run. This method increases accountability and transparency while also giving owners more control over funds.

How does Profit First work?

The majority of businesses follow the same formula when calculating their cash flow. It evaluates profit as an outcome once expenses are paid with the following formula:

Sales – Expenses = Profit

This leads entrepreneurs to use more of their budget than necessary on business costs.

Profit First Professionals Formula

The Profit First professionals approach instead suggests that a specified predetermined percentage amount of revenue should be designated as profit. The remaining portion is used to consciously budget for expenses. This budget is calculated with the following formula:

Sales – Profit = Expenses

By determining profits based on your typical revenue, a pre-determined amount can then be allocated to wages, utilities, and production costs. This process creates a long-term, sustainable way that leads to big profits, where you can reap the rewards of your dedication and hard work.

Does Profit First work for small businesses?

Own Business

When setting up a business, various costs and expenses can be overwhelming, especially if you aren’t instantly generating a lot of income. Most of the time, this results in many business owners neglecting to pay themselves (pay yourself first principle) as they don’t feel worthy of the money that could be better spent elsewhere in the business.

Highly profitable businesses

The profit-first approach is a powerful method that guides business owners to remove the temptation of feeding and immediately putting the entirety of their profits back into the business, helping with many areas of their own financial struggles. The Profit-First system has enabled countless start-up businesses to establish their baseline expenses whilst prioritising profitability. It encourages business owners to allocate funds into specified spending buckets. Handle business banking by moving profits into their own dedicated account and keeping expenses and taxes in separate locations, the temptation to dip into your profits for business expenses is far reduced if you don’t have your entire fortune in one place.

In other words, this encourages owners to set aside money for growth and reinvestment in the business while also ensuring that they have sufficient funds for expenses and taxes.

Profit First: Transform Your Business from a Cash-Eating Monster to a Money-Making Machine: A book about finances that is somehow enjoyable - and made me rethink my biz entirely. Awesome book. I hate dealing with money but this book entirely shifted my perspective on my business finances. I enjoyed reading it (a first with a money book..) But also implemented everything because it was simple and made way more sense than anything else I'd tried to do to become more profitable. Mike is a genius.

Profit First: Transform Your Business from a Cash-Eating Monster to a Money-Making Machine: Great insight and depth Along with the audiobook, this printed book provides an excellent insight and guide to a business can financial management concept, coined Profit First. Although the concept itself is straight forward, the author carefully provides great depth and analysis around why it works, how it works, as well as answering common questions you'll probably have when reading or listening to the book.Overall, this is a model I'm keen to put into practice and review with others within my business circle.PS. The audiobook is read by the author, Mike Michalowicz, and as such, contains (why I'd call) bonus anecdotes and side notes that are both helpful for the listener, as well as providing even more context to the content.
