Profit

Find out which part of the business actually makes you money.

Busy and profitable aren't the same. Some of what you sell pays for everything else, and some of it costs you to do.

Profit work is part of Advisory. We use your reconciled books to find where the money really comes from, so you know where to put your energy.

What we look at

Which services or products make the most, and which don't. Whether a thin month is a pricing problem or an overhead problem. How much you can safely take out for yourself.

Try it yourself first

The Price or Overhead tool is free and saves nothing you type. Letters: Not Every Sale Is a Good Sale, and Payday for the Owner.

Questions

Is this separate from cash flow?

It's the same Advisory work. We spend the time on whichever matters more right now.

Do my books have to be clean?

Yes. Profit by service only means something when every dollar is in the right place. If they aren't there yet, we start with the diagnostic.

A short note from me, now and then.

Money, books and running a small business in Hawaii, in plain words.

Unsubscribe any time.

It costs nothing to find out where your books stand.

I go through your QuickBooks and show you what I find, whether or not you hire me. If your books are clean enough, I'll also show you a few quick moves that could put more money in your pocket.
