Frequently asked questions:
What is Profit first?
Profit First is a simple cash management system that helps you keep more of the money your business makes.
Instead of:
Sales – Expenses = Profit
We flip it:
Sales – Profit = Expenses
You intentionally set money aside for profit, tax and your pay first - then run the business with what's left.
Simple idea. Big shift.
Is Profit First just lots of bank accounts?
No. The accounts are just part of the system.
Profit First gives you visibility and control over your cash. It doesn’t fix your problems, it highlights them – In. Real. Time.
That’s the power of the system. We then use the proprietary tools we’ve developed to help you solve those problem.
You'll know what's available to spend, what's reserved for tax, what you can pay yourself and whether the business is actually generating enough profit.
No more looking at one big bank balance and hoping for the best.
How does Profit Genie help?
We help you turn your numbers into decisions.
That can include:
Implementing Profit First
Improving cash flow
Setting profit and owner pay targets
Building cash-flow forecasts
Identifying where your money is disappearing
Bookkeeping, VAT, tax and year-end accounts
Ongoing financial coaching and accountability
We're interested in more than getting your accounts filed.
We want to help you build a predictably profitable business. also known as – building wealth.
How are you different from a normal accountant?
Most accountants are great at telling you what happened.
We want to help you decide what happens next.
We combine accounting with Profit First, cash-flow planning and financial coaching, so your numbers become something you actually use to run your business.
Your accounts still get done. Your tax still gets filed.
But that’s the start of the conversation, not the end.
We're growing, Why does it still feel like we have no money?
Because more sales don't automatically mean more cash.
Growth often brings more staff, stock, advertising, VAT and overheads. Without a plan, your costs can grow just as quickly as your revenue. We help you understand where your cash is going and put a structure around it so profit and cash flow grow alongside revenue.
In this way, you’re way more intentional about results, and as such results will follow!
Will Profit First make me cut loads of costs?
No.
We're not here to cancel every subscription and tell you to stop buying coffee.
We'll help you identify which expenses genuinely support your business, and which are quietly eating your profit.
Spend intentionally. Cut intelligently. Keep more profit
Do I change accountants to use Profit First?
No.
You can work with us on Profit First and keep your existing accountant.
We'll help you understand your numbers, create your plan and give you something practical to implement.
If you later decide you'd rather have your accounting and Profit First support under one roof, we can help with that too.
Is switching accountants a hassle?
Much less than you probably think.
Once you've appointed us, we'll help manage the handover and liaise with your previous accountant for the information we need.
You don't need to spend weeks chasing files or figuring out what to ask for.
We'll guide you through it.
Do I have to have an awkward conversation with my accountant?
No. Changing accountants happens all the time.
We can handle everything, but out of courtesy, we recommend you let them know. They’re probably nice people and we like to do right by everyone. Then we can handle the professional handover and request the records we need.
Do I have to wait until my year end to switch?
No.
You can change accountants during your financial year.
We'll check what's already been completed, what's coming up and what needs transferring so there are no nasty surprises. In fact, we recommend changing as soon as possible. Why wait for the benefits to flow?
What happens to my Xero / Sage account when I switch?
Your data stays with your business.
We'll get the appropriate access, review the setup and get familiar with your numbers.
You don't have to start everything again just because you've changed accountant.
My bookkeeping is a mess. Can I still switch?
Absolutely.
Please don't spend six months trying to make everything perfect before speaking to us.
We'll work out where things stand, what needs fixing and the best way to get you back on track.
We've seen messy books before.
Will anything get missed during the switch?
That's exactly what a proper handover is designed to prevent.
We'll identify upcoming accounts, VAT, payroll and tax deadlines and make sure it's clear who's responsible for what. We’ll meet with you weekly for at least 6 weeks to ensure the handover is as smooth as possible.
Our aim is a smooth handover with minimal disruption to you.
What if I'm not ready to leave my accountant?
Then don't.
You can start working on your profitability without changing accountant.
Try Profit First, understand your numbers and see what difference the approach makes.
If you eventually want Profit Genie to look after everything, we'll make the switch easy.
Is Profit Genie right for me?
You should probably talk to us if you've ever thought:
“We're making good sales… so where's the money?”
“How much can I actually afford to pay myself?”
“Why have I got a tax bill but no cash to pay it?”
“My accountant tells me what happened. I need someone to help me work out what to do next.”
“The business is growing, but it doesn't feel any easier.”
Those are exactly the kinds of problems we're here to help solve.
Specialist Industry Questions:
Do you specialise in e-commerce businesses?
Yes — e-commerce is one of our specialist areas.
We understand that an e-commerce P&L can look healthy while cash is disappearing into stock, advertising, VAT, fulfilment and marketplace fees.
We don't just look at your year-end numbers. We help you understand what's driving your margin, where your cash is tied up and what you can actually afford to spend to grow.
Do you understand Shopify, Amazon and e-commerce platforms?
Yes. We work with the systems e-commerce businesses use every day.
That means we're comfortable dealing with data from platforms such as Shopify, Amazon and payment providers and understanding how that data ultimately flows into your accounts.
You shouldn't have to spend half your meetings explaining to your accountant how your business works.
What specialist software do you use for e-commerce accounting?
E-commerce accounting gets complicated quickly, especially when you're selling through multiple channels, payment processors and countries.
We use specialist e-commerce accounting and integration software alongside Xero to bring your sales data into your accounts accurately and efficiently.
That means cleaner data, better reporting and fewer hours trying to reconcile thousands of individual transactions.
Can you help me understand whether my products are actually profitable?
That's a much better question than simply asking how much you're selling.
Revenue can hide a lot.
We help you understand the impact of product costs, discounts, marketplace fees, fulfilment, shipping, advertising and overheads so you can make better decisions about pricing, products and where to invest your cash.
Can you help with stock and cashflow?
Definitely.
Stock is one of the biggest cash-flow challenges for e-commerce businesses.
You can be profitable on paper and still run short of cash because thousands of pounds are sitting in a warehouse.
We help you plan ahead so you can balance stock purchases, tax, marketing, owner pay and growth without constantly wondering whether there's enough cash in the bank.
Do you understand paid advertising and ROAS?
Yes, and we also know that ROAS isn't the same thing as profit.
Scaling Meta, Google or other paid channels can increase revenue very quickly, but that doesn't automatically mean you're making more money.
We help you look beyond headline marketing metrics and understand what growth is doing to your margin, cash flow and bottom line.
Does Profit First work for e-commerce businesses?
Absolutely, but it needs to reflect how an e-commerce business actually works.
Stock, VAT, advertising spend, fulfilment costs and payment timings all affect how much cash is genuinely available.
That's where our combination of Profit First expertise and e-commerce experience matters.
We don't just hand you some generic percentages. We help build a system around the realities of your business.
Do you work with gyms and fitness businesses?
Yes. Fitness is another industry we understand.
Whether you're running a gym, studio, coaching business or another fitness model, we help you understand the numbers that actually drive profitability — not just produce a set of accounts once a year.
What numbers should a gym owner actually be watching?
Your bank balance isn't enough.
Depending on your business model, we'll help you focus on numbers such as recurring revenue, member numbers, average revenue per member, payroll, occupancy, retention and operating profit.
The point isn't to give you another dashboard full of numbers.
It's to identify the handful of numbers that actually help you run a better, more profitable business.
My gym is busy. Why isn't it more profitable?
Busy doesn't always mean profitable.
You can have plenty of members and still lose margin through pricing, payroll, rent, underused capacity, poor retention or uncontrolled overheads.
We'll help you understand what's happening underneath the headline revenue figure — and where changes can have the biggest impact.
Does Profit First work for gyms and fitness businesses?
Yes and recurring revenue can make Profit First particularly practical.
Rather than watching money arrive and disappear again, we help you deliberately allocate cash towards profit, tax, owner pay and operating costs.
It creates a rhythm around your cash and makes it much easier to see what the business can genuinely afford.
Why does industry experience matter when choosing an accountant?
Because context matters.
Stock, advertising and fulfilment can dominate the numbers in e-commerce. In a gym, it might be memberships, retention, payroll and capacity.
When we already understand the commercial model, we can spend less time asking you to explain your industry and more time helping you improve the business.
The conversation moves beyond:
“Here's what happened last year.”
And becomes:
“Here's what the numbers are telling us — and here's what we should do next.”
How do I get started?
Start with a conversation.
We'll look at where your business is today, what you're trying to achieve and what's getting in the way.
You don't need to understand Profit First. You don't need perfect books. And you don't need to have decided whether you're changing accountants.
That's what the first conversation is for.
More clarity. More control. More profit.
