Financial Operating System Framework for High Profitability with Arron Bennett, who grew up in Australia selling steel.

Then a pulmonary embolism nearly killed him, and he used the reset to build something he actually believed in.

He retrained in accounting, moved to the US, and spent years managing books for hundreds of clients before noticing a pattern: most service business owners doing $2M to $20M weren't losing because they lacked revenue.

They were losing because they had no idea where the money was going. That observation became Bennett Financials and the 60/15/15 framework: a financial operating system benchmarked to 60% gross margin, 15% sales and marketing, and 15% G&A. On average, clients eliminate $402K in tax liability in a single year.

One client scaled from $14M to $22M in six months, netting $5M. Collectively, his clients have saved over $105M in taxes.

Featured in Forbes, Business Insider, and USA Today, Arron built his firm around one question: is this business scalable?!

We talk about The 60/15/15 Standard, Five numbers before revenue that predict your year, Why Balance Sheet protection kills growth, What buyers look at that most owners miss, plus much more!
