Profit-First flips the traditional accounting model on its head.

Instead of the usual “Sales – Expenses = Profit,” Profit-First says,

“Sales – Profit = Expenses.”

It’s a game-changer.

By prioritising your profit right from the start, your business can always be financially healthy.

Harman Johnston

‘”When I first started my business, I thought I was doing great. But every quarter, I found myself scrambling to find a big chunk of money to pay tax, working longer hours just to make up the difference. It felt like no matter how hard I worked, getting ahead was impossible. I kept asking myself, ‘Surely there’s a better way?’ That’s when I discovered Profit-First.

Profit-First brought clarity and purpose to every dollar that came into my business. After I put the systems in place, I never had to scramble for money again. The funds were always right where they needed to be. And as a result, I’m much happier.”
