“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.
The Hidden Profit Academy Testimonials
When I did the Visioning Exercise from the Guarantee Profit for Your Practice Course, you should have seen the client's face. It was a cross between "OMG" and "we're desperate for your help". I didn't have to sell anything. They were on board almost instantly.

Mike Milan always makes me better at what I do. When I go to conferences where Mike is speaking, I always sign up for his sessions. He never gets enough time on stage and now I don’t have to get on a plane or pay a conference fee and hotel charges to hear the best of Mike Milan. How great is that?

The Hidden Profit Academy Testimonials
These courses are game changers for accounting professionals. Other sites focus on IRS regulations and AICPA standards which we need, but these courses instruct accounting professionals on how to improve profitability, cash flow, and net worth for their clients. Every accounting professional wants to be an adviser to their clients. These courses provide step by step roadmaps to get there.

I died and went to heaven. After taking the 50% More Profit in 4 Weeks Course the client finally understood what I’ve been trying to tell them for fifteen years.

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.
