A Profit First Professional is known as a strategic, trusted advisor and an integral part of their client’s business success. As a member you will leverage the most recognised profit brand and methodology in the world.

Where it began
Profit First Professionals was created in 2014 to help accounting, bookkeeping, and business coaching firms escape the compliance trap and start making more of a difference for their clients. Using the principles documented in the book, Profit First, co-founders Mike Michalowicz and Ron Saharyan created a one-of-a-kind membership organisation to train business and finance professionals in the Profit First Method and its application across many business structures and industries. Profit First Professionals members soon became highly sought after providers of strategic financial, operational, and personal guidance for business owners around the world.
