Turn Profit Into Cash Flow: A Half-Day Workshop with Colin King, CPA, CFA

That is the only question that matters on a Monday morning. It is also the one most owners cannot answer without a little dread.

Cash flow kills more small businesses than bad ideas. A company can look profitable on paper and still run out of money, because nobody sees the gap between when cash goes out and when it comes back in. Fixing that does not take a CFO, an accounting degree, or a new software stack. It takes one simple tool, a weekly rhythm, and a clear view of the next thirteen weeks.

That is what you will walk out with.

Colin King, CPA, CFA will walk the room through the same cash flow system he uses to run a portfolio of companies generating more than $25M in annual revenue. It is the same system Profit Mastery has taught to more than one million business owners since 1983, condensed into an afternoon you can act on the next morning.

By 4:30 PM you will have:

• A working 13-week cash flow forecast, built from a real anonymized business
• A clear read on the three sections of a cash flow statement and what each one is telling you
• A monthly cash budget for longer-range planning
• A checklist of tactics to pull inflows forward, push outflows back, and free up cash you did not know you had
• A 15-minute weekly cadence you can actually keep

This is hands on, not theoretical. Bring a laptop if you want to build alongside.

This room is built for the people who run businesses and the people who advise them.

Business owners and operators. Founders and CEOs of growing companies, typically $1M to $50M in revenue. Multi-unit operators and franchisees trying to stay ahead of cash pressure. Second-generation or newly promoted leaders stepping into financial ownership for the first time.

The finance team inside the business. CFOs, fractional CFOs, controllers, bookkeepers, and internal finance leads who want a repeatable system their owner will actually use on Monday morning.

The advisors around the business. CPAs, commercial bankers, SBDC advisors, business coaches, franchise consultants, M&A advisors, and wealth managers who want a practical cash flow tool they can hand to a client and explain in one meeting.

If you have ever opened the bank account on a Monday morning and wondered whether payroll was going to be tight, or you advise people who do, this was designed for you.

Profit Mastery has been teaching business owners how to read their own numbers since 1983. Over more than four decades, the Profit Mastery framework has been delivered to more than one million business owners, operators, franchisees, lenders, and advisors across North America. The methodology sits behind cash flow and profitability programs run by community banks, SBDCs, CPA firms, franchise systems, and industry associations.

Profit Mastery is headquartered right here in Indianapolis. Under CEO Colin King, CPA, CFA and the team at Circle City Capital Group, which acquired the company in October 2023, Profit Mastery has been rebuilt with the same curriculum that made it an institution, updated for how businesses actually run today. This Indianapolis workshop is part of a deliberate push to bring that work home, invest in Indiana business owners first, and build a local community around the framework.

If you have ever taken a Profit Mastery cash flow course through your bank, your franchise system, or your local SBDC, you already know the system. This is that system, in a single afternoon, in your own city, taught by the CEO of Profit Mastery, who uses the tools every day in his own portfolio companies.

Every ticket includes a networking happy hour from 4:30 to 5:30 PM immediately following the workshop. Drinks, light bites, and a room full of other Indianapolis business owners working on the same things you are. Stay as long as you want. Location is inside the Union 525 building and will be confirmed to registered attendees closer to the date.

July 23 is the half-day introduction. In October, Profit Mastery will run a full two-day Cash Flow Boot Camp in Indianapolis for owners who want to go deeper on the same framework. Every July 23 registrant gets a discount on the October boot camp. Details will be announced in the coming weeks and emailed directly to everyone in the room on July 23.
