5 stars for the premise and theory behind why Mr. Robins wrote this book, i.e. traditional accounting principals don't work for small professional service firms. And what (very) little practical advice is actually in the book is quite good.
But 1 star for the execution and editing of this book, because it reads like a long advertisement on why you should buy his company's services - complete with 38(!) different QR codes taking you to his website.
The book offers high-level ideas on how to analyze firm KPIs to focus on owner profits. This is a good read for those starting a solo practice or looking to better understand the business of a small law firm. The book overtly promotes the author’s service businesses and often reads like a long sales brochure.
As noted by other reviewers, this book is simply one long advertisement for the author’s businesses. A reader will get far more out of the original “Profit First” by Mike Michalowicz.
