Profit First is a cash management methodology created by Mike Michalowicz. The core principle is simple: take profit first, then manage expenses with what remains. The system uses multiple bank accounts (Income, Profit, Owner's Pay, Tax, Operating Expenses) to automatically allocate funds and ensure profitability. It's a behavioral approach to financial management.
