Profit improvement

Get on top of profit and cashflow

Many owners don’t fully trust what the numbers are telling them. The reports are there, but they don’t give a clear picture of where profit and cash are being made or lost. Decisions end up relying on instinct, and that only works for so long.

 

Profit improvement gives you a small set of numbers you can actually use, numbers that help you see what’s really happening so you can make decisions with more confidence.

Who this is for

This is for owners who:

  • don’t have a clear picture of what’s driving profit or cash flow

  • want to understand the numbers without getting buried in them

  • need to make decisions about pricing, staffing, investment, or capacity

  • want to stop second‑guessing and start acting with more certainty

What we focus on

The aim is to cut through the clutter and focus on the few numbers that matter most. Together, we work on:

  • understanding the key drivers of profit and cash flow

  • using numbers to guide decisions, not just review the past

  • seeing where money is genuinely being made or lost

  • identifying trends before they become problems

What we look at in practice

Depending on your business, we may dig into:

  • job or project profitability

  • sales mix and margin pressure

  • overheads and cost creep

  • the gap between profit and cash flow

  • pricing decisions and their impact

  • capacity, utilisation, and workload patterns

What you can expect

By the end of this work, you’ll have:

  • a small set of numbers you can rely on

  • a clearer picture of where profit and cash are coming from

  • more confidence in the decisions you’re making

  • a better understanding of what the business can afford

  • practical next steps to improve profit and cash flow

How we work together

Work is hands-on and focused. We usually combine:

  • short diagnostics

  • simple tools that make the numbers easier to understand

  • joint sessions where we work through the business together

  • individual prep work between sessions

Where to start

IIf you’re not sure whether this is the right place to begin, the  Business Pressure Diagnostic will help pinpoint where pressure is sitting and what’s most likely to make a difference first.
