BUILD PROFIT THAT COMPOUNDS
Engineer a Business That Performs Without Heroics.
Business Profit Engineering helps owners and leadership teams remove execution friction, increase cash flow, and scale profit using a disciplined system for behavior, decisions, operations, and growth.
This is not training.
It is applied business engineering.
THE PROCESS
ASSESS
We start by understanding three things. First, what are your personal goals that you want for your future. Second, what are the goals for your business such as grow, scale, and or sell, whether to new owner, ESOP, or next generation in family. Third, determine the state of the business and identify any key areas to prioritize.
PLAN
Build a plan with a clear vision, set of goals, and projects needed to make the changes to the business, stepping away from day to day working IN the business towards working ON the business.
Execution results in taking action, normally in 30 to 60 days of first starting to work together. Each project serves a purpose beyond just ROI. Each is to improve the performance of the business to yield greater output, profit, cash, freedom, and valuation multiples.
OUR PROMISE
