Profit First Accounting System: what if you could have profit guaranteed?
“That was the question I asked myself after yet another year of my company’s check-to-check survival. I have become convinced that the biggest source of entrepreneurial stress (and even depression) is the lack of cash reserves.
I created the Profit First system to eradicate my own financial struggles. And I am honored to say, that as of writing this, over 175,000 companies have implemented the system.
The method is simple. Every time you get a deposit from sales, take a predetermined percentage of that money as profit. Of course, there are a few more steps than just that. But even with the simple first step, of taking your profit first, you will become permanently profitable.
Profit is not an event. It is habit. This book will show you exactly how to do it.”
— Mike Michalowicz
Profit First Bookkeeping
So what does ‘profit’ really mean? According to the generally accepted (GAAP) accounting rules, your profit is the balance left over once you have deducted your expenses from the top-line sales: Sales – Expenses = Profit. This is logical to most business owners, however, there is no guarantee that anything is going to be leftover! The Profit First Bookkeeping System uses ‘Priming’ to focus on what really matters, making profit the focus…
Profit First Accounting Method
Sales – Profit
= Expenses
This may appear to be exactly the same thing, just in a different order? The Profit First Accounting method by Mike Michalowicz is trying to highlight human behaviour (as we are not logical creatures!). What comes first, gets done. What comes first gets our priority and ultimate attention. Sales are required for any business but profit must come before expenses in our priorities in order to run, grow and scale a financially healthy business.
What is the
profit first method?
The PF System bakes profit and cash into your business from the get-go. Accounting profit can often bear no reflection to real cash in the bank. PF ensures that as the business owner you are rewarded as an ‘Owner’ (You take a profit distribution) and also as an ‘Owner Operator’ (if you work in your own business) you take a ‘salary’ (not just a tax salary, as a salary for your actual effort). It’s time to start rewarding the best employee that you’ve got, yourself!

Client Success Stories
James Flemming, Director of Brave Group
We worked with James and helped him successfully implement Profit First in his business. During this time he managed to identify structural changes to his business that he expected to save £84k in the next 12 months!!! He has also managed to keep on top of all his business taxes in this period.
Nathan Pursloe, Director of Pursloe Property Management
I want to share with you a really amazing story about Nathan recently.
About a year ago, he was going through some really tough times with his business. He was on the brink of closing down due to financial struggles following covid, and he was pretty much ready to give up. He was worried that no matter how hard he worked, the business was not going to work and questioned whether it was the right thing to keep going for the sake of himself and his family.
He agreed to have a chat with me knowing that I helped people using the Profit First system but didn’t really know how it all worked, he just knew that I had already helped a few clients at CTA and seen some big wins.
To be honest, I wasn’t sure if Nathan would take my advice or not as this was going to be a massive mindset change. I was amazed at his attitude, he soaked up everything I said like a sponge and was committed to learning and growing every week.
We just had a monthly catch-up, 12 months after we first had the chat and his business has completely transformed. His profit has gone up by a massive 400%!!!! I am not taking the credit as he has made this happen but I promise you that Profit First has changed the way he thinks about the finances in his business and he is now a better business owner for it.
He still has some challenges but he has made massive steps in the last 12 months.
