Profit First for Contractors
Shawn Van Dyke · first published 2018 · ISBN 9781790264506
Van Dyke addresses the cash-flow trap that contractors fall into: money comes in, but it gets spent on everything else, and there's never actually a profit. He teaches how to reverse the equation (Sales minus Profit equals Expenses) so you actually put money aside before spending it. The book includes worksheets specific to construction and trades businesses.
