Profit First: Transform Your Business from a Cash-Eating Monster

4.8/5

reader rating · 9,710 ratings

Profit First, reissued by Portfolio in 2017, presents Mike Michalowicz's counter-intuitive financial framework for small-business owners: take profit out first, then operate on what remains. Drawing on case studies, step-by-step guidance, and Michalowicz's characteristic humor, the book is designed to replace the conventional revenue-minus-expenses accounting model with a behaviorally driven system built around predetermined profit percentages. This review is based on published sources and the book's documented contents — not hands-on application of the method.
