“Our Goal is To Double The Survival Rate of Small Businesses By Harnessing The Genius of Accounting Professionals”
My Name is Dawn Fotopolus
I’m an associate professor at The King’s College, award-winning author of Accounting for the Numberphobic, and founder of Hidden Profit Academy.
I started Hidden Profit Academy with a single mission: to double the survival rate of small businesses in America by harnessing the genius of accounting professionals throughout the country.
Right now, small businesses throughout the country are in the middle of a catastrophe. They’re desperate for help. And right now, as you’re reading this page, you have the opportunity to make a difference and help them not only survive, but thrive over the next 24 months...and 24 years.
Who Is This For
This program is for the accounting pros, tax professionals, CPAs, and bookkeepers who are tired of being viewed as a disposable, commoditized “cost” in your clients’ businesses...rather than an investment.
It’s for you if you’re tired of being seen as little more than IRS insurance for the businesses you work every day to try and help.
It’s for you if you want to stop trading keystrokes for dollars and start actually making an impact in the businesses you work with.
What You'll Gain...
50% More Profit In 30 Days is designed to not just help you unlock a minimum 50% more profit in both your own and your clients’ businesses…
But to completely transform your relationship with your clients from a commoditized book keeper trading keystrokes for dollars into a strategic partner and “profit doctor” for your clients.
If You Want To…
- Stop trading keystrokes for dollars and start finally charging what you’re worth
- Get your clients to START paying attention and IMPLEMENT your advice
- Transition your services from glorified administrative assistant to trusted strategic advisor and profit maximizer
- Effectively differentiate your practice and communicate the value you add to your clients and double or even triple your billings
...Then this program is for you
Why You'll Succeed
Each time I’ve opened this program for enrollment, I hear from people who are excited about the promise of 50% More Profit In 30 Days...but they’ve been burned by online courses before. In some cases, they’ve tried changing their practice for the better, but didn’t see any results.
I get it. I’ve been there too. And through teaching these concepts to thousands of accounting pros like yourself, and working in the trenches with hundreds of businesses, I can say that through constant optimization, iteration, and improvement this course gets results.
50% More Profit In 30 Days has a greater than 200% success rate (100% of the accounting pros who complete it find a minimum of 100% more profit in 30 days), and if you follow the steps laid out in the program, I guarantee you’ll find success as well... or your money back.
Here's How We're Doing It:
8 Weeks of Clear, Well-Planned Lessons
Each week you’ll learn a short, fluff-free topic designed to move you further down the Hidden Profit Blueprint path, and walk away with a specific, actionable assignment.
Weekly Homework Assignments
Each week after your lesson, you’ll be given a short, impactful assignment to execute inside both your client’s business AND your own practice. These assignments are designed to immediately unlock the value of that week’s lesson and release untapped profits hiding in the business.
