It’s not about how much money you make, it’s about how much you keep
Imagine having total clarity on your finances—where every money decision feels simple and stress-free. No more cringing when it’s time to look at your bank balance or head in the sand when it's time to do your books.
Instead, confidently assess your finances in a way that aligns with your creative mind—bringing ease, passion, and even joy to the process!
What is Profit First?
Profit First is a simple and yet incredibly effective cash flow strategy that will transform your business from a cash eating monster into a money making machine. Written by Mike Michalowicz, the system explains why the GAAP accounting method is contrary to human nature, and traps entrepreneurs in the day to day and check-to-check cycle struggle to survive. You’ll quickly learn the importance of taking your profit first, without compromising your business, and why the Profit First Formula of Sales – Profit = Expenses actually forces innovation, supports sustained growth and skyrockets profits.

“My whole adult life I have been fighting a battle with credit card debt. Thanks to Kristen and Profit First I have buckled down HUGE since January. The separate accounts and CAPS were instrumental. I finally did it. I have $236 left on a card that has been near or at $6000 since I got it! ”
