The day I implemented Mike Michalowicz's Profit First methodology, my business + my life changed in the best possible ways.
I am passionate about helping small business owners finally get their businesses to a level of financial health whereby the business owner is finally able to pay themselves what they are worth. In short, our mission is to eradicate entrepreneurial poverty ... you know the drill ... your company looks great on the outside, but each month after all of the bills are paid (rent, employees, sub-contractors, tax etc.) there isn't enough left over for you to pay yourself what you are actually worth.
Do you sometimes wonder if it's all worth it? Do you sometimes wonder if you would be better off shutting down the business and going back to working as an employee? Do you sometimes wonder where all the money is going? Do you sometimes wonder how to keep growing without sacrificing your own financial future? Do you sometimes feel intimated when talking to your accountant? Do you scratch your head when there is a profit showing on the accounts but no cash in the bank to pay the tax bill?
Those were some of the reasons clients come to me ... to get that peace + clarity around how to manage the cash flow in your business.
Praise and Testimonials
Jennifer's calm manner helps me understand exactly where all of the cash is going in my business. She explains things without loads of jargon. I can now talk to my accountant from a place of confidence, instead of fear thanks to Jennifer + Profit First. Even better, I can now explain the finances to my partner so she doesn't freak out.

In my moments of stress, Jennifer brings calm + focus. I always feel so much better about the progress I am making after our sessions. Honestly, sometimes I just want to give up, but Jennifer gently reminds me of the progress I have made by showing me my Profit First numbers in a way that I understand.

Jennifer just "gets me". She guides me in growing my business profitably in such an authentic + fun way. I love the clarity I get from Profit First and am so grateful I found Jennifer. She walks the same walk that we all do with our businesses and so she can immediately pinpoint how to apply Profit First to my exact situation.
