I’m talking to a friend and colleague today about her book and how Profit First principles can apply to any business. Struggling business owners breathe an audible sigh of relief when their profit margins are increased, and they can operate from an abundance mindset. Join us for today’s episode to learn more. 

Christeen Era is the co-founder of Green Profit Academy and an accounting and consulting professional who has helped hundreds of small and mid-sized businesses improve their cash flow, post higher profits, and achieve stronger growth. In Profit First for Lawn Care and Landscape Companies, she provides an industry-specific toolbox to help the owners of these businesses manage their expenses and increase their gross profit margins to as high as 65%. Passionate about helping her clients flourish and grow, Christeen is a certified Profit First Professional, Pumpkin Plan Strategist, Certified Fix This Next Advisor, and Quickbooks ProAdvisor. 

Join us as we take a closer look at how Profit First is helping Christeen’s clients!

Profit by Design is a Tap the Potential Production in collaboration with Small Business Consulting Group.
