Here’s something no one tells you when you start a business: You’re expected to become fluent in a language you never learned—financial speak.
You might know some of the words: net margins, burn rate, KPI targets, forecast variance. But speaking the language? Forget about it.
All you really want to know is: “Do I have enough money to pay myself and grow this business without going broke?”
If that sounds like you, we have good news. You’re not bad at money. You just haven’t been taught in a language that makes sense. That’s exactly why Profit First works.
The Problem with Most Financial Advice
Traditional financial systems are designed by accountants, for other accountants. They assume you’ll run your business like a CFO: diving into spreadsheets, monitoring complex dashboards, spotting trends from quarterly reports.
Here’s the truth: most small business owners don’t think like that. And more importantly, you don’t need to. You just need a system that gives you clarity, tells you the truth about your cash, and helps you make better decisions. That’s what Profit First does.
Profit First Translates Finances into Action
Instead of asking you to analyze, Profit First asks you to act:
- Set percentages
- Allocate money
- Trust the system
Every dollar has a job before you spend it. You know what’s profit. What’s tax. What’s yours. What’s safe to spend. It’s simple. It’s visual. It’s clear. And now, with the Profit First App, it’s EASY.

The App Speaks Your Language
The Profit First App doesn’t try to impress you with complexity. It’s built to support you with consistency:
- Clean visuals show you exactly where your money is.
- Automation handles the math.
- Reminders keep you on track.
- Guided coaching from Profit First creator Mike Michalowicz shows you why each step matters.
No jargon. No guesswork. Just a system you can actually follow.
Clarity Equals Confidence
You don’t need to become your own CFO to run a healthy business. You just need to see your cash clearly and have a system that helps you manage it without stress.
Profit First is that system. The app is the tool that helps you practice it, every single week.
