Testimonial
"After completing the Profit Comes First ‘The Profit Blueprint’ Course, I would definitely recommend this for business owners because it provides simple, clear information that is needed to start and grow a business.
Owning your own business can be overwhelming because it requires knowledge in so many areas. As I worked through the modules, it reassured me where I already had healthy practices or mindsets, which created more confidence and excitement.
Additionally, the experience demonstrated opportunities for improvement in my business strategies, which included resources to download that I could personalize for the specific needs of my business.
We have personally transitioned from a hobby level business where we were left wondering how to make decisions about our business to understanding how much to pay ourselves and how to navigate the decisions as we grow as a business.
Rocky’s business experience and ability to deliver clear and simple information is an asset for businesses as they strive to implement strategies using the Profit First principles." A.D.

About Rocky
Rocky Lalvani is a Certified Profit First Professional. He’s been trained directly by the author of Profit First, Mike Michalowicz on how to implement the PF system.
He is also a certified CFO with The CFO Project, which has provided him with professional financial tools to analyze and forecast cash flow and profitability.
Rocky works one-on-one with numerous small business owners to help them improve their cash flow and profitability.
Host of the Profit Answer Man Podcast, Rocky has recorded over 100 episodes interviewing successful business owners about their profitability. He’s also been on hundreds of other podcasts to share his expertise about life and money. Richer Soul, Rocky’s personal podcast, has over 300 episodes about life beyond money.
Rocky retired from corporate America to follow his passion of making finance more understandable and accessible. He’s grateful to have the financial freedom to choose how he spends his time.
He has been designing and analyzing spreadsheets since the early 80’s when the first electronic spreadsheet was created (Visicalc).
Rocky was born in India, and now lives in Pennsylvania with his wife Dolly (CPA). He’s a dad to two grown children (and he even gets to work with one of them!).
P.S. – If you’re still not convinced you can trust Rocky, just Google him.
About Geeta
Geeta Lalvani Hines works one-on-one with small business owners to help them understand their finances and grow their profits.
As a certified Profit First Professional with Profit Comes First, she helps them leverage their existing habits and simplify their systems.
You’ll often find her in front of a spreadsheet analyzing rows of data. She may have picked up this habit from having Rocky as a dad.
At the young age of 4, Rocky decided it was time for Geeta to start learning about money. By 13, she began working in the family business by writing blog posts, doing light bookkeeping, and learning how to do every task that didn’t have a hiring or outsourcing budget (which was several of them).
Geeta has worked with Dawn Fotopulos (author of Accounting for the Numberphobic), convinced NYC students that study skills can be both fun and worthwhile, and developed marketing campaigns for startups. Her past experience equips her to make other concepts that feel difficult and boring (like finance) into ones that feel easy and fun.
She currently resides in Texas with her husband and a growing collection of houseplants.
DISCLAIMER
The information in this course will help you to be more profitable. However, there are a few situations where it will not work.
If your business can not command pricing power and your costs are too high, you will find that you will never be profitable. This happens a lot in the e-commerce business, and the course may help you realize that it’s time to put your time and effort into another business.
Some people think they don’t need to open bank accounts and can do this in their accounting software. It rarely works. Opening the 5 bank accounts is crucial to the success of Profit First.
Lastly, some business owners steal from themselves. If you are going to consistently raid your Profit and Tax accounts to pay for other expenses, you will struggle to increase your profitability.
The system will create the awareness of your business needed to generate profits. You may find that you have to pivot and find better ways to ensure you are profitable.
