If you’ve ever tried to manage your business finances in a spreadsheet, you know the feeling: tabs on tabs, manual formulas, color-coded chaos. And somehow, you’re still not totally sure what’s safe to spend.
Here’s the truth: You don’t need another spreadsheet. You need a system. That’s where Profit First comes in. Combine the method with the Profit First App, and everything gets easier.
Spreadsheets Can’t Build Habits
We like a good spreadsheet. But they aren’t designed to:
- Nudge you when it’s time to allocate.
- Show you where your money truly sits in real time.
- Help you stick with financial habits when life gets busy.0
Spreadsheets offer flexibility. That’s also the problem; they rely on you to remember, update, and interpret everything. Most business owners don’t need another spreadsheet to manage. They need a system they can trust.

The System You’ve Been Looking For
Profit First is that system. It gives you a repeatable rhythm:
- Money comes in.
- You allocate by percentage.
- You spend only what’s available in your OPEX account.
Every dollar has a job before you spend it. It’s proactive, not reactive. The Profit First App helps you set that rhythm, then it makes that rhythm automatic.
What the App Does for You
- Clear visuals: No more guessing how much is set aside for taxes, profit, or your pay. It’s right there, anytime you check in.
- Smart reminders: Choose your rhythm: weekly, bi-weekly, monthly. The app nudges you when it’s time to act.
- Automated math: No more calculating percentages by hand. The app does it for you: fast, accurate, and stress-free.
- Premium Expense Analyzer: (For upgraded users) Spot overspending based on your actual data, not hunches.
Simpler. Calmer. Smarter.
If you’re tired of doing mental math, juggling multiple tabs, or wondering if you missed something—this is your sign to simplify. The Profit First App isn’t about giving you more data. It’s about giving you more clarity.
Stop managing spreadsheets. Start leading your business with confidence.
