If you own a service-based business—whether you’re a consultant, designer, trades professional, or other expert—you already know this: running a business is not the same as doing the work.
Sure, you’re great at delivering results for your clients. But when it comes to the numbers? That’s where most business owners feel overwhelmed, frustrated, or flat-out in the dark.
I’m Mandy McGowan, founder of Elevating Profits, and I’m here to change that.
Let’s be blunt: a lot of bookkeepers just plug in numbers and send a report you never look at. That’s not what we do here.
At Elevating Profits, we help service-based businesses understand their finances so they can finally make confident decisions, pay themselves consistently, and plan for growth—without second-guessing every move.
We specialize in working with businesses bringing in a six-figure annual revenue. Whether you’re managing a small team or wearing all the hats yourself, you deserve clear, actionable insights—not just spreadsheets.
We translate the numbers into plain language. No jargon, no judgment. You’ll finally understand where your money is going and why.
We’re your financial partner, not just your bookkeeper. From cash flow management to profit planning, we help you look ahead—not just backward.
We focus on service businesses. Service providers face unique challenges—like tracking time and labor costs, managing cash flow gaps between projects, and handling inconsistent income. While we don’t run your operations for you, we do help you plan financially so you can avoid cash crunches and protect your margins.
We believe clarity is power. When you know your numbers, you stop operating out of fear and start making decisions that actually grow your business.
Here’s how we help service-based businesses build profitability and resilience:
Bookkeeping Services
Accurate, timely books—done monthly—so you always have a clear picture of your revenue, costs, and profitability.
Cash Flow Forecasting
No more surprises. We build cash flow forecasts that show exactly when money is coming in and going out, so you can plan with confidence.
Profit Strategy & Consulting
We help you spot profit leaks, price your services accurately, and set targets that move your business forward.
Financial Reviews & Reporting
Customized reports you actually use, paired with video walk-throughs so you understand what the numbers mean.
Too many business owners wait until tax season to look at their books—only to realize they’re working harder than ever and barely taking home a paycheck.
If you’re ready to finally understand your business finances—and use them to your advantage—you’re in the right place.
Let’s build something profitable together.
