Hi, I'm thrilled to have you back with us. In today's episode, we're diving deeper into the Profit First system. If you tuned in last week, you'll remember we discussed using multiple bank accounts to help manage and control your spending. This week, we're taking it a step further by exploring categories and something called CAPS and TAPS.

I’ll start by sharing an inspiring story about a client who turned her business around using these principles. She faced significant challenges with her staffing model and overheads but made incredible progress by implementing the strategies we’ll discuss today.

Summary:
In this episode, we delve into the details of the Profit First system, focusing on how breaking down your finances into smaller, manageable accounts can lead to better financial health for your business. We cover the concepts of CAPS (Current Allocation Percentages) and TAPS (Target Allocation Percentages), and how they can be used to streamline your expenses and increase profitability.

I also share real-life examples and provide practical advice on how to start implementing these changes. Whether you're a solopreneur, a small practice, or managing a large group practice, this episode offers valuable insights tailored to your business size and needs.
