from Profit First: Transform Your Business from a Cash-Eating Monster to a Money-Making Machine by Mike Michalowicz
How to Apply This
-
Tell your accountant about Profit First and the system you want to use.
-
Set up your accounts if you haven’t already with nicknames.
Write percentages next to the account name. For example, Operating Expenses are 45%. -
Add 1% to all historical contribution levels for each account.
For example, if your taxes were usually 5% of your total revenue, you will set up your tax reserve at 6%. -
Look at your bank balance in your operating expenses and subtract any outstanding checks and payments.
-
Divide up the remainder into your accounts.
For example, if you have $2,000 currently available, apply your target percentages to that number. -
Cut expenses by at least 10%.
Cancel whatever you don’t need to help your business run efficiently.
