Q1, 2025: QUARTERLY IMPACT REPORT

You want the truth? Here it is: most Founders are flying blind when it comes to their numbers. And no judgment — we get it. Bookkeeping is overwhelming. Budgets feel like buzzkills. And let’s be honest, the "spreadsheet life" doesn’t exactly scream dream business.


But here’s the plot twist: when Founders do take ownership of their budgets, everything changes. And now we have the data to prove it.


This quarter, we surveyed 451 Cashflow Canvas, budget-building Founders and asked them to compare Q1 2025 (Jan–Mar) to Q4 2024 (Oct–Dec). The results are in — and they speak for themselves.


REVENUE:

  • 50% of Founders saw a jump in sales

  • 25% held steady

  • 25% experienced a dip

  • Average sales increased by 147%!


DIREECT COSTS:

  • 75% of Founders saw an increase in Direct Costs

  • 25% reported no change

  • Average increase was 32%


PRICE POINTS:

  • 100% of Founders raised their prices

  • Average price increase was 8%

  • 25% did so to match rising costs

  • 50% increased to protect profit margins

  • 25% were testing new pricing strategies


FOUNDERS' PAYCHECK:

  • 100% of Founders increased their personal compensation! BOOYAH!

  • Average increase was 60%

  • But some hadn’t been paying themselves at all!


NET PROFITABILITY:

  • 75% of Founders reported a boost in their bottom line

  • Average increase was 9%

THE TWIST WE DIDN'T EXPECT [BUT PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE]

While the results had us high-fiving across Slack, our response rate was lower than expected. So we followed up with those who didn’t complete the survey — and what we discovered was eye-opening: Many Founders didn’t know how to measure their performance in their bookkeeping software. Some didn’t have historical data. Others had messy records. And without clean, trackable numbers, even the best plan is just a shot in the dark.


OUR RESPONSE? TWO GAME CHANGING SOLUTIONS:

  1. Monthly “Measure What Matters” Bootcamps — teaching Founders how to pull the right data from their bookkeeping software

  2. Our growing crew of Book Calibration Experts — helping Founders clean up their books and align them with their financial plan


WHY IT MATTERS

At Nail The Numbers, we’re not just teaching Founders how to build budgets. We’re helping them build businesses that fund their dreams, support their families, and make a real impact.


We’re on a mission to strengthen the minds and bottom lines of business owners — but we can’t do that unless they can track their progress and measure their success.


THE ROAD AHEAD

We’re already gathering data for our Q2 Impact Report and can’t wait to see what even more Founders accomplish next. With clearer books and stronger plans, we know the results will only get better.
