Sales might be up, but is your business actually making money?
A lot of business owners focus on revenue, but revenue alone doesn’t pay the bills. Profit does. And if your margins are shrinking, your costs are rising, or your bank account never matches your income—you’ve got a profit problem.
That’s where our Profit Improvement Strategies come in. We help you figure out where the money’s going, what’s eating into your margins, and how to fix it.
Improving profit doesn’t always mean cutting everything. Sometimes it’s about:
Pricing smarter
Fixing process leaks
Dropping low-margin services
Reworking how and when you pay vendors
Tightening up time tracking
Saying no to what’s not worth it
We dig in, find out what’s working and what’s not, and build a real plan based on your actual numbers—not guesswork.
Every business is different, so we tailor our approach to fit what you do.
Here’s what we typically look at:
Revenue by service or product line
Direct costs and vendor spend
Labor costs (including wasted time)
Overhead and recurring charges
Pricing and billing models
Discounts, refunds, or “leaky” sales processes
Tools and subscriptions that may not be pulling their weight
Then we work with you to tweak, test, and improve what’s dragging things down.
One client in Memphis was doing $50K/month in sales—but barely scraping by. We found they were underpricing their most labor-heavy service and eating the cost on rush jobs. After reworking pricing and trimming waste, their profit margin doubled in 90 days.
Another in Seattle had 4 different subscriptions doing the same job. We cleaned that up and freed up $700/month—without cutting anything they actually needed.
We’ve helped:
Service-based businesses
Retail shops
Contractors
Restaurants and cafes
Online sellers
Nonprofits with tight funding
Profit issues happen at every level. Whether you’re just breaking even or want to scale without sinking, we’ll help you dial it in.
We dig into your:
QuickBooks or Xero files
POS and invoicing systems
Payroll and expense tools
Dashboards (if you have them)
Google Sheets (we love a messy spreadsheet too)
If the data exists, we’ll find the answers.
We’re based in Seattle, but we help businesses in Portland, Memphis, and across the country. Most of our work is remote, and we keep the communication simple, clear, and straight to the point.
You won’t get vague advice like “spend less.” We’ll show you where the numbers are leaking—and what to do about it.
If your sales look great but your cash doesn’t, or you’re tired of working harder without seeing more income, let’s talk.
We’ll help you find the problems, fix them fast, and build a more profitable business.
