Description

Here’s the situation: you decide to implement Profit First, you’re excited about finally getting clarity with your money and then your bookkeeper turns around and says, “It’s too complicated. Too many accounts. Too much work.”

Over the past year, I’ve had a number of clients tell me this story. It can be so frustrating because here you are trying to take control of your cash flow and suddenly the professional you’re paying to support you is pushing back.

In this episode, we’ll talk about:
• Why bookkeepers dislike Profit First (hint: they’re not trained in it and all they see is “more work”).
• The truth about how much extra effort Profit First actually creates (spoiler: it’s literally a few clicks a week).
• Why bookkeepers see money differently to business owners and why their perspective isn’t always what you need.
• How separating money into multiple accounts reduces complexity for you as the salon owner (even if your bookkeeper thinks it adds complexity for them).
• The key difference between Profit First as a cash management system and traditional bookkeeping as an accounting system and why both matter.

At the end of the day, Profit First is designed to make your money work for you, not for your bookkeeper. If you’ve ever felt stuck between wanting to do things differently and feeling like you’re being “a pain” to your bookkeeper, this episode is going to be a huge relief.

Hit play and let’s break this down honestly, so you can move forward with confidence (and maybe even help your bookkeeper understand why this system matters so much for your business).
