What is Profit First?

The Profit First method is a hack that accountants use based on the Profit First book by Mike Michalowicz. This method combines human behavior with financial thinking. Most firms deduct expenses from revenue before taking profit (Revenue – Expenses = Profit). However, the Profit First method advises taking out profit first before expenses (Revenue – Profit = Expenses). Both formulas might seem alike on paper, but they are quite different, and the latter will create a huge impact on your business.

This strategy allows the business owner to build a habit that forces entrepreneurs to rethink money and spending. The ideology is that if you take out your profit first, everything else will adjust to suit your budget. Referring to Parkinson’s law that states ‘work expands to fill the time available to completion’, this means we are more likely to adjust expenses to the available money left after you take profit.
