Lots of unfortunate incidents in business happen because of one thing - hiring an uncertified individual to do the job. This leads to losing money, and resources and doubling the effort to fix the situation.
In this episode of Profit First for Tradies, we explore building a solid financial foundation and how a certified Profit First professional can help in the process. 
The Profit First system is simple but it’s certainly not easy at the start. Qualified Profit First professionals go through the rigorous process of getting certified and keeping up with the latest in Profit First. Doing so ensures they are capable of providing strategies for long-term success.
It can be enticing to work on business systems by yourself or hire the one that charges the cheapest but this can delay the results you want and the risk of things going wrong is huge.
Time is precious, especially for Trades business owners. Certified professionals can give you guaranteed results, and ensure profit first without having to question the quality of work they provide.
In this episode of the Profit First for Tradies, you’ll learn the following:

• Three reasons why you need to  work with certified professionals (00:55)
• The process of getting certified (02:00)
• The consequences of doing everything yourself (03:05)
• Impact of getting prolonged results (03:45)
• How to determine the type of Profit First professional you should work with (05:50)

Avoid horror stories and ensure you hire licensed professionals in the business. They can guide you in all business concerns while helping you save time, effort, and money.
