Why You Need a Profit Crash Course—Even If You Already Have an Accountant

As a business owner, there are two key areas you need to master: selling your product or service and managing your finances. Many business owners excel at the first but find themselves struggling with the second, even if they already have an accountant.

Take, for example, one of my former banking clients who now runs a highly successful second-generation beauty supply business. Despite impressive revenues, the owner felt out of touch with the financial side of the business. This disconnect hit a peak when he faced an unexpectedly large tax bill in 2023—something that could have been avoided with better financial oversight.

The Problem: Understanding Your Financials

This client’s situation isn’t unique. Many business owners leave financial management entirely to their accountants, only to be caught off guard by tax bills, cash flow problems, or profitability issues. Accountants are great at managing books and ensuring compliance, but as a business owner, it’s your job to understand the numbers and make informed decisions based on them.

That’s where my Profit Accelerator Program comes in. The owner hired me to help him better understand the cash flow running through his business. During our sessions, he discovered:

  • The three most important financial reports to review every month.

  • The three to four critical ratios that reveal the health of a business.

  • How to plan three years ahead and avoid surprises at tax time.

The Solution: Financial Coaching for Business Owners

By leveraging my 30+ years of finance experience, we worked 1-on-1 each week as part of my 30-Day Profit Accelerator Program. Together, we built a roadmap for his business that not only helped him stay on top of his finances but also allowed him to make more strategic, profitable decisions.

Today, I’m proud to say that he and I continue to meet monthly to ensure he’s staying on track and accountable for his numbers. He’s gone from feeling overwhelmed by his financial statements to feeling empowered by them.

Why a Profit Crash Course is Essential

So, why do you need a profit crash course if you already have an accountant? It’s simple: accountants keep your books in order, but they don’t always help you see the bigger picture of your financial health. You need to understand how cash flows through your business, what key financial metrics you should be tracking, and how to use that information to avoid costly mistakes like unexpected tax bills.

That’s why I created The Profit Accelerator Course, a short, actionable digital course that takes everything I’ve taught in my 1-on-1 sessions and distills it into a self-paced format. For just $197, you can learn how to master your finances, avoid costly surprises, and plan for future growth.

Final Thoughts

Running a successful business requires more than just a great product or service—it requires a solid understanding of your financials. Don’t wait until a surprise tax bill or cash flow problem forces you to take action. Invest in your financial knowledge today and start steering your business toward long-term profitability.

Wishing you a great week ahead!
