BRITTANY MCKNIGHT
A NOTE FROM OUR CEO:
How I Built a Business That Puts Profit and People First
I started my career in automotive technology, thinking I’d work my way to CEO of Ford. Turns out, that wasn’t the path—so I pivoted, became a CPA, and climbed my way to CFO, helping businesses across industries scale profitably.
But what stuck with me? Hearing ambitious women say, “I want to work for myself, but I don’t understand money.” Too many were hustling but still stressed about taxes, cash flow, and whether their business was actually building wealth.
So I quit my corporate job to change that.
Now, At Progress to Profits, we help women CEOs turn their Signature Method into a profit machine—where strategy is sharp, impact is undeniable, and profit isn’t a hope, it’s a given.

We worked together to shift her pricing strategy, streamline operations, and help her step into her role as CEO. Instead of treating her business like a job, she started designing it to work for her. The key steps included:
✔️ Pricing Overhaul: Doubling prices on key wellness services to reflect their true value.
✔️ Operational Adjustments: Reducing her time in-clinic and structuring her team to support growth.
✔️ Scaling Strategy: Implementing systems to sustain revenue growth and improve profitability.
From Overworked to CEO – How a Client Scaled Her Wellness Business While Working Less
INDUSTRY: WELLNESS & AESTHETICS
BUSINESS MODEL: SERVICE-BASED WELLNESS CLINIC
STARTING CHALLENGE: OVERWORKED, UNDERPAID, AND UNSURE IF SHE COULD AFFORD TO HIRE HELP
THE CHALLENGE
In late 2022, one of our spa owner clients was stuck in the daily grind—spending every single day in the clinic, exhausted and undervaluing her services. Raising her prices felt impossible, and hiring help seemed financially out of reach. The result? She was overworked, underpaid, and her business was running her instead of the other way around. She knew something had to change.
THE SOLUTION
Fast forward to the end of 2024, and the transformation is undeniable:
✔️ Revenue Growth: Ended the year with $789,000 in revenue—a 59% increase from 2023.
✔️ High-Value Months: Hit her first $100K sales month in March.
✔️ Work-Life Balance: Reduced her in-clinic time to just two days a week.
✔️Team Expansion: Now hiring a spa manager with a bonus system to support business growth.
✔️ Personal Freedom: Finally has the space to focus on building her dream home.
THE RESULT
THE TRANSFORMATION
By making the decision to value herself and her time, our client completely changed the trajectory of her business. She went from feeling stuck in the grind to fully stepping into her CEO era—with a profitable, thriving business that no longer depends on her being there every day.

When we dug into the last 12 months of financial data, we uncovered a shocking $200,000 in unpaid invoices—money that should have already been in their bank account. That missing cash wasn’t just a number—it was the difference between stress and security.
From Cash Flow Chaos to Predictable Profits – How a Client Transformed Their Property Management Business
Industry: Property Management
Business Model: Rental property management services
Starting Challenge: Cash flow instability and lack of an accounts receivable system
THE CHALLENGE
Before we started working with this client, cash flow was chaotic, and the stress was unbearable. The owner was overwhelmed—to the point of tears—because money was unpredictable, invoices were inconsistent, and payments were often missed altogether. The biggest problem? They didn’t have an accounts receivable system. Invoices were sent sporadically (if at all), making it nearly impossible to track what was owed and when money would come in.
THE DISCOVERY
With this system in place, everything changed:
✔️$200,000 in overdue invoices collected and accounted for.
✔️ Invoices are sent and paid on time—every time.
✔️ Cash flow is predictable, removing financial stress.
✔️ The business owner is focused on growth, not chasing payments.
THE RESULT
THE TRANSFORMATION
Now, instead of worrying about whether money will come in, the client has a reliable, predictable cash flow system that allows them to scale their business with confidence. Because here’s the truth: You don’t just want revenue. You want reliable cash flow.
We implemented a simple yet powerful accounts receivable system to ensure predictable cash flow:
✔️Automated Invoicing: Invoices now go out on the same day every month.
✔️Consistent Payment Collection: Clients have a streamlined way to pay.
✔️Cash Flow Stability: Money comes in like clockwork, eliminating financial uncertainty.

How Simplifying Systems Increased Profitability for a Property Management Company
Industry: Property Management
Business Model: Managing over 200 rental units
Starting Challenge: Overcomplicated cash flow processes that were draining resources
THE CHALLENGE
One of the biggest myths about cash flow? More detail = more money.
This property management company thought they were maximizing cash flow by back-charging postage to clients every month. On paper, it seemed like a smart move. But in reality, it was:
❌ Costing more in labor than the actual postage fees.
❌ Delaying reimbursements by 2-4 months, meaning clients were essentially borrowing money interest-free. It was an inefficient system that was draining time, resources, and cash flow—all for a minimal financial gain.
✔️ Eliminated hours of wasted labor every month.
✔️ Reduced cash flow delays, making revenue predictable.
✔️ Saved the company from hiring additional staff.
✔️ Simplified operations, creating a more profitable system.
THE RESULT
THE TRANSFORMATION
Now, instead of tracking tiny expenses that cost more in labor than they’re worth, this property management company has a smarter, simpler system that keeps cash flow on autopilot.
Because here’s the truth: Simpler systems = smarter cash flow = more profit.
We simplified the system and optimized cash flow by:
✔️ Eliminating the labor-intensive process of tracking and back-charging postage.
✔️ Implementing a fixed fee structure based on property type and unit count.
✔️Introducing an annual review process to ensure clients pay for their actual costs.
✔️ Freeing up their team so they didn’t have to hire another staff member just to chase pennies.

How a Retail Business Saved $18,000 by Fixing Their Financial Systems
Industry: Retail
Business Model: Brick-and-mortar and/or e-commerce sales
Starting Challenge: Poor financial tracking leading to lost profits and overpaid taxes
THE CHALLENGE
Retail businesses operate on razor-thin margins, which means every dollar matters. This client was leaving serious money on the table simply because they didn’t have systems in place to track income and expenses properly. Their accounting was a mess—transactions weren’t recorded accurately, cash flow was unpredictable, and worst of all…They were paying more in taxes than they needed to because they didn’t have clear financials.
✔️ $18,000 in tax savings in the first year—without cutting corners.
✔️ Clear, accurate financial reports to make informed business decisions.
✔️ A stronger, more profitable business built on intentional money management.
THE RESULT
THE TRANSFORMATION
Instead of operating blindly and overpaying taxes, this retail business now has financial clarity, accurate reporting, and a system that keeps more money in their pocket. Because here’s the truth: When you understand your numbers and manage your money intentionally, you don’t just save on taxes—you build a stronger, more profitable business.
We stepped in and put precise money management systems in place to clean up the mess and maximize profitability:
✔️ Implemented systems to accurately track income and expenses.
✔️ Converted the business to accrual-based accounting for better financial clarity.
✔️ Created a system to ensure financials were accurate year-round, not just at tax time.
