Hey there, it's Katie Bell welcoming you back to another insightful episode of Treat Your Business. If you're ready to revolutionise the way you handle your finances, you're in the right place. Today, we're diving deeper into the Profit First approach and how it can transform your business.
Summary:
In this episode, we explore the four principles of Profit First, a revolutionary method that flips traditional accounting on its head. Katie breaks down the fundamental steps to achieve financial mastery in your business, starting with the concept of separating your funds into different "plates" or accounts.
