Step 5 of 8

Profit First Setup

Every dollar coming into your business gets a destination before it gets spent. This tool calculates your Smart Profit Allocation System from your real numbers: four bank accounts — Operating Expenses, Profit, Taxes, and Owner's Pay — with your exact percentages and dollar amounts, plus a step-by-step plan to set them up. If your current spending doesn't fit the target yet, you get a phase-in schedule that starts where you are.

Your revenue

A typical month, before any expenses. If it swings, average your last 3 months.

Field labor, subs, materials, disposal — costs you only have because you took the job. Pure service with no delivery costs? Use 0.

Your spending today

Rent, software, admin, insurance, marketing, vehicles — everything it costs to keep the doors open. If your own pay is mixed into this pot, leave it in; we'll pull it apart.

Salary or draws — what actually lands in your personal account. If it's 0, enter 0; we'll show you the benchmark for a business your size.

Money you actually move somewhere and don't touch. If tax time is a scramble, this is probably 0 — no judgment, that's exactly what this fixes.

The context behind the numbers (optional — but it sharpens the plan)

One account or five, personal card mixed in — describe it as it is. The plan starts from where you actually are.

Cash crunches, tax surprises, paying yourself last — whatever keeps you checking the balance at night.
