Businesses at different levels have different challenges, and I’ve worked in companies ranging from small “Mom and Pop” shops (working for my parents) to large corporations, including helping my husband build and grow an IT company from the ground up.

I’ve seen and been a part of a lot of groups and organizations, and I pull from that experience to help you, no matter what level your company is at. I love training, teaching, and sharing my experience to help you and the other members I guide grow and prosper in your businesses!

I’ve Got Your Back!

I believe incorporating Profit First consulting into your firm is the number one way to move your business from compliance-based services to the high-level advisory services all business owners need…whether they realize it or not. I love sharing my experience doing just that with you and our other members so you can experience phenomenal success building a business that is more than a job you own.

I’ve Got Your Back!

Billie Anne Grigg joined Profit First Professionals as a member in September of 2015. She was one of the first Profit First Professionals to join the Mastery program, and she leveraged her membership to grow her bookkeeping business to more than triple the size she ever thought possible. Billie Anne became a Profit First Guide in August, 2017.

Billie Anne lives in Oklahoma with her husband, Mike, their three children, and way too many dogs, cats, and guinea pigs to name.

Finances are a struggle for many people largely due to lack of proper education which results in lack of confidence and confusion. Financial stability allows for viable businesses, improves our ability to make a good living and care for our families and employees, which in turn allows us to “do good” by being socially and community-engaged. My goal is to leave people and things better than I found them – especially people. I look forward to guiding others daily towards clearer financial understanding.

I’ve Got Your Back!

My experience as a Guide has sharpened my understanding of the nuances each business experiences as they implement Profit First and as they grow a Profit First consultancy. This goes so far beyond understanding accounting as I learned it in school. I provide you and the other members I guide with accountability and encouragement in each phase of membership – from Profit First implementation onward. Helping you succeed is my mission!

I’ve Got Your Back!

Erin Moger has been a Profit First Professionals Guide since 2015, shortly after Profit First Professionals launched in Mike Michalowicz’s basement. Erin grew up as a child of an entrepreneur and has experienced entrepreneurship in a different light because of it. She earned her degree in accounting because she saw this field as the way to help small business owners succeed.

Erin lives in New Jersey with her husband, Patrick, their two children, and a number of frogs and lizards.

I devised the Profit First strategy to ensure that any company that uses the system experiences profitability from their very next deposit forward. As the “mouthpiece” for Profit First Professionals, I am committed to spreading the Profit First message to business owners around the world…business owners who want to work with YOU and our other members.
