# Financial Systems (Profit First®)

> Cash management implementation that flips the formula: Revenue - Profit = Expenses.

## What Is Profit First?

Profit First is a cash management system created by Mike Michalowicz. It flips the traditional accounting formula:

Traditional: Revenue - Expenses = Profit (leftover)
Profit First: Revenue - Profit = Expenses (what's available)

The result: profit is protected from the start, not hoped for at the end.

## What Satori Implements

- **Financial health check** — assess current cash flow patterns and pain points
- **Five-account setup** — Income, Profit, Owner's Pay, Tax, Operating Expenses
- **Target allocation percentages (TAPs)** — right-sized for your revenue stage
- **Bi-weekly allocation cycles** — systematic cash distribution every two weeks
- **Quarterly profit distributions** — reward yourself from the Profit account
- **Treasury-in-trust services** — specifically for Philippines operations (separates operating from reserve funds)

## Who This Is For

Founder-led companies that:
- Have recurring revenue but struggle to see profit accumulate
- Pay themselves inconsistently or last
- Find themselves cash-strapped despite growing revenue
- Want financial clarity without building a full finance function
