Certified Profit First Professional for 5 Years! Here’s What It Means for You and Your Business

Nov 15, 2024

If you’re looking for someone with deep expertise in the Profit First methodology who’s dedicated to helping businesses take control of their finances, you’ve come to the right place. I’m thrilled to share that I’ve been a Certified Profit First Professional for five years. But what does that mean for you and your business? Let’s break it down.

What Does It Mean to Be a Certified Profit First Professional?

Profit First certification is a rigorous process. Each certified professional undergoes comprehensive training and evaluation by Profit First Australia and New Zealand. This certification ensures we’re equipped to apply Profit First principles effectively and help clients prioritise profitability. Over the last 5 years I have committed to delivering exceptional financial guidance for business owners, built on a proven methodology that supports sustainable growth and financial security.

Why Should Profit First Matter to Your Business?

Profit First turns the traditional accounting model on its head. Instead of the usual formula — Sales - Expenses = Profit — Profit First reorders it to Sales - Profit = Expenses

Changing up the order of this well known formula means that we bring Profits to be more important than paying your bills.  What?  Yes - your priority when running a business is to ensure that your business is profitable - and this means it has the funds to re-invest, to pay it's owners and pay off it's debts.  Paying the bills is only a part of what you need funds in a business for, not the only thing.

When we use the Profit First methodology,  a portion of every sale goes directly into profit, to ensure your business remains profitable and resilient. This approach is essential because:

  • Profit is prioritised, which fosters a stronger, more resilient business.
  • Cash flow issues are minimised, giving you greater peace of mind.
  • Financial decisions become intentional, enabling you to invest in areas that truly drive growth.

For countless businesses, the Profit First method has been transformative. In fact, I can guarantee that by adopting Profit First principles, you’ll experience improved cash flow and a clear path towards sustained profitability.

At Northwest Accountancy we recently took our whole team overseas to meet up in person for the first time.  This fully funded activity was only made possible because we use the Profit First system, and intentionally and incrementally saved money for this business retreat over an 18 month period of time.

How My 5-Year Certification Benefits Your Business

  1. Expertise You Can Trust: With five years as a Certified Profit First Professional, I bring a wealth of experience in helping businesses apply these principles effectively. This expertise translates into financial guidance tailored to your specific business needs.
  2. Proven Financial Strategies: I deliver tried-and-tested strategies that enhance financial performance and support sustainable growth. My clients have seen improvements in financial clarity, reduced debt, and profit reserves that safeguard their future.
  3. Long-Term Commitment: My five years of certification represent more than just knowledge; they’re a testament to my long-term commitment to the Profit First philosophy. This dedication ensures I’m here to support your business at every step.  One of the parts of being certified is that we are using Profit First in our own business, so can see the positive behaviour changes and mindset changes in ourselves and our clients, and help you work through them yourself.
