You will be a hero if you make another video explaining the same cash flow from PROFIT FIRST FOR CONTRACTORS by Shawn Van Dyke. I'm a carpenter. I readed the two books (PF and PFC) and I loved them and their philosophy. But now i'm in trouble to apply the PFC system to my business. Every project is different and there are many variables that i don't know how to include in the accounting system (Example: tool wear, workshop expenditures, etc). I hope you do a similar video about PFC. Greetings from Argentina

I am a huge fan of profit first. It really helped us put guard rails for our operation expense and had enough for owners pay. I see to many business owners who are feeding the business and not feeding themselves. I also like the way you share your owners pay. What we did was divide what we brought in the year before by half. since we are at the Target allocation. We had enough built up for a few months . We are in a commission only business and some months we are just short of our goal and some months we blow past the goal. Every 6 months We decide if we also need to give ourself a raise or a paycut. The main point is we know our numbers and this system really helps to make sure of that,

1) You saved me the cost/time expense of reading the book. (I came from a bad review of the book) 2) You increased the chances of me understanding this concept by making this video. There was a bad review on the book saying it kept beating around the bush and that “there is a 20 min video that explains this in clear” which was a hint I was looking for. I generally don’t have a great attention span so it’s important things get to the point. Thank you for making this you’ve changed at least 1 business operating in Denmark.

I became an S-Corp this year, and I now pay myself through a payroll service, this helps b/c the company also pays my payroll taxes at the time of the pay check.

It could also be for catastrophe planning, think COVID or a hospital stay. The reserves will either keep your business going if there is a drastic reduction in revenue out of your control or if you are experiencing a period of growth and need capital.

Hi Joey! This was great! I think I will need to watch it again to fully understand all of the details,. Haha! Nevetheless, I was wondering what your thoughts were on doing this on a weekly basis vs a bi-weekly. I ask this because I have a service based business and each week, I have to "spend" money in order to provide services to my clients. So that counts as an expense, which sometimes happens before I bring in my income. How do I work around this?

That’s funny, I’ve been working on a business plan and it seems I’ve organized it roughly the same way. However, as its for the transportation industry I built my salary into the company overhead as we primarily operate on Cents Per Mile and Daily Rate and it tells me where I need to be to be “happy” aka I can pay my personal overhead, then I double back and work through this situation. Think, I am me and I work for my business; we are not the same and require separate disciplines.

Hi! So this would mean I need a total of 4 or 5 accounts open in my main bank (is that possible) and then 2 or 3 accounts open at another bank. So, the remaining amount is the operational account(is this also called the business account) for the expenses?

So, right now I'm just starting my business, and it's got a very low expense cost (planning to keep it that way for a little while). I only have a business checking account and credit card. When I open these additional accounts, do they need to technically be 'business' checking or 'business' savings accounts from the bank's perspective? I ask, because high yield personal savings accounts have higher interest rates than high yield business savings accounts, and I don't know if my bank will allow me to open multiple business checking accounts.

I think thats why he said to open multiple savings accounts due to the restrictions of opening multiple checkings.

The only question I have is do i literally have 3 (i dont have to pay state income tax) separate accounts at my bank? So in total I'll have 6 accounts between the 2 banks?

For bank 1 and bank 2 will these banks be under the business name? Meaning the LLC name? I have an operating account under the LLC but for the other two Banks’s that I want to open do I put my personal name on it or the company account name?

also, is the existing operating account its own account? so like, sales go into that account, and then from that account it goes to bank 1?

Should have better explained on last example $1,800 first paid out $100 to Owner to bring prior month up to $2,000 - this then left $1,700 to pay out for current month - leaving owner short by $300

That's correct. You do all your calculations on the amount after you pay your subs. It's called real revenue.

Do you know if as a business owner (LLC) we still need to file as W-2 or 1099 or is it as easy as just getting paid from the account every two weeks like you mentioned by transferring funds from owners pay to your personal account ?

Great video but as a e commerce business with us having to purchase inventory would you take these allocations from your income gross or from your net gross for ex if I made 10k but only 6k was profit

In Mike's book, he talks about different businesses and the extra / different allocations needed. In your case, you need another account for inventory. Just as someone with employees would need an account for payroll :-) . I highly recommend you grab the Profit First book so you can apply it to your specific situation. And most importantly, learn how to do the allocation splits specific to your business

I can see that the other accounts should be business accounts but does the owner’s compensation bank account have to be a business bank account?

Hey Joe, Quick question for you. Would you not just take the 13% off the top right away. Then base your 15% income tax off of the $8700 remaining in the account? As the 15% isnt considered in your revenue?

@@joeyragonacoach Thanks Joe! Ran it with my numbers as well and it doesn't make a massive difference. Was just curious, I think you're right! I do my HST yearly, but I guess your way would be just like adding to your quarterly profits.
