This structural engineering firm had strong backlog and solid billable hours, yet cash remained unpredictable. Owner draws were sporadic and often delayed until after large invoices were collected. Their A/R hovered around 50+ days, and fixed-fee projects routinely absorbed more staff time than budgeted. After implementing Profit First, the partners shifted from reactive cash decisions to a disciplined allocation rhythm tied to their billing cycle.
Metrics:
Outcome:
Within one quarter, the partners transitioned to a dependable monthly salary, created a profit reserve that supported off-season work, and rebuilt financial confidence across the leadership team—all without changing their project mix or adding new staff.

All Package Levels Include a Copy of the Book "Profit First: Transform Your Business from a Cash-Eating Monster to a Money-Making Machine."

My foundation comes from my years as a civil engineer trained at Georgia Tech. That experience shaped the way I think and work. I learned to approach problems methodically, rely on clear systems, and make decisions based on evidence rather than assumptions. That mindset still guides me today. It’s why clients can count on me to bring structure, precision, and a calm, analytical approach to their financial challenges.
I shifted into Profit First because I saw how many business owners work hard yet feel like they’re always behind. Becoming a Profit First Professional gives me the tools to help them build a healthier business, one that supports both their mission and their personal livelihood. My goal is to help owners take control of their cash, break the cycle of stress, and finally see the rewards of the work they put in.
As a QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor, I bring practical day-to-day expertise to the table. I understand how real businesses operate inside QBO and how to keep their financials accurate, clean, and ready for decision-making. Whether it’s monthly bookkeeping, system cleanup, or helping clients read their numbers with confidence, I use QBO as a tool that supports clarity rather than confusion.
