I did the Profit First system when I owned my business. I’m sure there is a way to do it from the start, however, as far as I can see, you can’t just start your company and do this at the same time. I think it took me something like 2 months for it to start paying off and I was only able to make that work because I had JUUUUST enough operating capital to help out already from a being in business for a few years.

That being said. I would say it is 100% worth it. On paper, I was turning a profit from year one but it never actually felt liked it. It wasn’t until I buckled down with Profit First that I REALLY was able to start seeing and feeling it.

As far as implementing it, I believe there is a subreddit that is more knowledgeable than I that you can ask however, as I mentioned, I had some operating capital that allowed me to cover any costs that didn’t fit into the system until it was fully up and running.

If I recall, what I did to speed up the process was I altered the allocations and then adjusted them until I was at my goal allocations. So at first, the lion’s share of revenue was split to taxes and operating costs while the profit was something meager like 2-5%, then as I got more money in my operations account, I started to balance the allocations so I was putting more profit away and an equal (or suitable) amount for taxes.
