Who Should Book This
This call is built for US‑based service businesses large enough that the gaps are worth finding:

Three Places We Look For Likely Leaks
Using your rough inputs, the Leak Check screens three common sources of profit and tax leakage and highlights which one is most worth validating next.
Your tax position may deserve a closer look
Entity structure, compensation, or timing may be creating avoidable tax drag. The call can flag the possibility; tax records and your CPA are needed before any strategy is final.
The top line moves, your take-home doesn’t
Pricing, labor mix, or delivery costs may be absorbing the revenue you add. Rough margin inputs help us flag the likely gap and the numbers worth validating.
Cash goes out before it ever settles
Overhead, staffing, or recurring spend may be running above a useful reference range. The Leak Check points to the likely category without pretending to audit your P&L.
You may have more than one. The call gives you a directional read on the most likely leak and a sensible place to validate first.
The screen starts with four rough numbers.
60/15/15 is our directional reference point: 60% gross margin, 15% sales & marketing, 15% G&A, and a 30% operating-margin target before interest, income taxes, and other items outside the framework. We line up the rough numbers you provide to show where a profit gap may exist and what deserves document‑backed validation.
Four Steps, Nothing To Prepare
Tell us six things
A short form: turnover, margin, how you are structured, what you paid in tax last year, and what frustrates you most. Two minutes at the outside.
Your directional Leak Map gets prepared first
Ahead of the call your rough answers go through the 60/15/15 framework so we can flag the most likely profit and tax leaks. We do not review your books or treat the result as final analysis.
We go through it together
Screen shared, map open. We explain the conservative ranges and show which likely profit or tax leak is most worth validating.
The map goes home with you
Whether or not we ever work together. It records the directional snapshot, likely leaks, conservative ranges, and the next validation step we suggest.
What Leaves The Call With You
A directional readout from rough inputs, organized on one page and yours to keep.
Your rough margin, sales and marketing, overhead, and profit inputs beside the 60/15/15 reference point.
The most likely profit and tax leaks, with conservative ranges and clear notes on what still needs validation.
The first number, record, or conversation to use when checking whether the likely leak is real.
Which likely profit or tax leak stands out, the rough range, and what the call cannot establish.
Where’s The Catch?
There isn’t one. Some owners ask us to help validate what the rough numbers surfaced — that is our business model. Others keep the directional Leak Map and use the suggested next step themselves.
If a likely leak looks material, some owners ask us to review the records and test it properly. That is where our revenue comes from.
Owners who do not need deeper work keep the directional map and remember us the next time someone in their circle gripes about tax or margins.
The Leak Check stands on its own: a rough‑input conversation, a directional Leak Map, and one suggested validation step. It is not a final tax strategy or a document‑backed assessment.
How The Twenty Minutes Runs
We will:
We won’t:
And if there is nothing to find?
Then you hear that the rough indicators look healthy, we close out early, and the directional Leak Map stays with you for later. Your time returned, no performance.
Direction first. Verification next.
The Leak Check uses rough numbers to point toward a likely profit or tax leak. It does not review your records, finalize a tax strategy, or establish a document‑backed conclusion.
If the directional result merits deeper work, the separate Scale‑Ready Assessment is the document‑backed next step. It is not included in the Leak Check.
