As a business owner, you know that achieving consistent, healthy profits can sometimes feel like an uphill climb. Traditional bookkeeping is invaluable, but it often focuses more on keeping accurate records than on actively increasing profitability. At Keep Smart Books, we’re taking an innovative approach: we are one of the select few firms nationwide certified in Profit First – a revolutionary method that focuses on maximizing your profits from day one.

What Does Profit First Mean?

The Profit First method, pioneered by Mike Michalowicz, redefines financial management by flipping the traditional “sales – expenses = profit” formula on its head. Instead, it prioritizes profit, using the formula: sales – profit = expenses. By prioritizing profit, businesses can intentionally build a healthier financial foundation, driving profitability in a structured, predictable way.

Why Our Certification Matters to Your Business

Our Profit First certification means we’re not just here to “do the books.” While we’ll certainly handle your accounting with precision and expertise, our approach goes much deeper. As Profit First professionals, we guide you in creating a customized plan to boost your business’s profitability. With this approach, we don’t just focus on tracking numbers – we actively help you set, monitor, and achieve profit goals that directly impact your bottom line.

The Difference a Profit First Bookkeeper Can Make

It’s no longer enough for a bookkeeper to just manage records. Modern bookkeepers, especially Profit First certified professionals, are dedicated to driving profitability. Our role is to help you understand exactly where your cash flow is going and, importantly, how much you can (and should) take home as profit. In other words, we help you take control of your financial future in a way that traditional bookkeeping alone simply can’t provide.

Ready for a New Approach?

If your current bookkeeping feels like it’s missing something – if it’s focused solely on balancing books without maximizing your profits – it might be time to experience the difference that Profit First can bring. Contact us for a no-strings-attached, free consultation to explore how this approach can transform your business finances and lead to greater profitability.
