Welcome

"As a portrait studio owner for over two decades, I know the importance of mastering both the creative and financial aspects of running a successful–and sustainable–photography business. Working with Jeff Shumate transformed how I approach my business finances. His expertise as a Profit First Advanced Certified Coach brought clarity and structure to my financial planning, helping me ensure that I was making the most profit possible, while still doing what I got in this business to do: be creative. Because of his background running a successful portrait studio himself, he's uniquely qualified to understand our industry's specific challenges, and benchmarks. I've seen such positive results that I now confidently recommend his services to all my business education students. If you're ready to make as much profit as you can, Jeff's coaching is an investment that truly pays dividends."

I wanted to take a moment to share my experience working with Jeff Shumate as my Profit First coach. His guidance completely transformed how I manage money in my business.

Before working with Jeff, I struggled to feel confident during the slower months in my business. He helped me implement the Profit First system, which not only gave me clarity and control over my finances but also created the financial stability I needed to thrive year-round.

Thanks to Jeff's coaching, I now have a system that allows me to plan ahead, save effectively, and keep my business on solid ground—no matter the season. His insights and personalized approach made all the difference. I was able to take care of several surprise expenses that came up because Jeff had helped me prepare the groundwork with Profit First.

I can't recommend Jeff enough.
