PROFIT CONNECTR
See the profit on every job.
While you can still do something about it.
Profit Connectr is a secure online platform. It plugs into your quotes, project boards, timesheets and Xero, and shows you what every job and every client really makes.
For service and project businesses turning over £1m to £30m.
Works with Xero, monday.com, Google Calendar, Excel, Google Sheets and many more.
Sound familiar?
Sales are great, but you never seem to make any proper money.
Turnover’s up. Profit’s going the wrong way.
You find out a job lost money weeks after it finished.
Your management accounts arrive a month late and answer questions you stopped asking.
You’ve been told to “know your numbers.” No one’s shown you how.
If 2 or more of these hit home, keep reading. You’re who we built this for.
Your business already has the answer. It’s just in 5 places.
The quote sits in your quoting tool. The job sits on a Monday board. The hours sit in timesheets, a diary, or someone’s head. The costs sit in Xero.
Each system knows part of the story. So the owner sees sales, the sales team quote blind, and ops finish a job with no idea if it made money.
We join the pieces up.
What Profit Connectr is
A secure online platform, built around your business.
Inside: profit dashboards, action suggestions, a chat where you can ask your numbers anything in plain English, and more.
It reads from the tools you already use, with view-only access, so nothing in them changes. You and your managers log in from any browser, on a laptop or phone.
We do the setup and keep it running. You log in and use it.
What you get
-
Profit by job
Every job, client and service line. Refreshed daily, and live where your tools allow it.
-
AI Analyst Agent
Reads your numbers, flags what it spots, and answers your questions in plain English.
-
Fully supported
When one of your systems changes or a connection drops, we fix it.

Review with Phil
A bonus. 1 hour on what moved, and what to do about it.
Don’t track time?
You can still start.
Plenty of the businesses we work with don’t. They’ve got a calendar, a project board, a spreadsheet, maybe van trackers. That’s enough.
We work with whatever you’ve got. Where there are gaps, your AI Analyst Agent makes a sensible best guess and shows its working: “These 2 people were booked across a weekend. Should we count 2 working days?” You confirm or correct it.
Then we map your blind spots and show you which extra data would tell you the most. Start collecting it when you’re ready. Your platform is useful from day one.
Free, Practical Tools. No sign up. No catch.

What happens when you actually look at the numbers.
These are real cases.
£50,000 for no extra work
A construction business was already doing laser surveys on every job.
They just weren't charging for them.
One revelation changed that.
0% Labour Margin Discovery
A business owner assumed their labour margin was 30%.
When they ran the numbers.
It was actually zero.
Wrong Excel Formula
A professional services provider had been using a broken pricing calculator.
Every quote they sent was underpriced.
They now make more money for the same work.
Jonathan Chippindale - Chief Executive, Holition
“Phil quickly understood the commercial dynamics I was wrestling with and helped me see what really mattered. His thinking was sharp, generous, and hugely valuable at a critical moment.”
Holly Tennock - Wilder Work
“Phil built us a simple pricing model that gave us the confidence we were valuing our away days properly.”
Harry Johnson, Non-Executive Director at Finite Solutions
“Phil has the ability to explain financial information in a language that anyone can understand.”

We show you where better data would give you a clearer view. Together we test each assumption and replace it with real numbers, one by one. Your platform gets more accurate over time.
What it costs
£1,500 + VAT
to get started. We connect your systems, build your platform, and your first month is included.
Then from £400 a month + VAT.
The exact figure depends on how many systems you connect and how much you use your AI Analyst Agent.
Month to month, so you can stop any time.
We keep setup low on purpose. We’d rather you said yes quickly and stayed because it works.
Prices for businesses. All prices exclude VAT at 20%.
Our promise: don’t decide today.
Let us connect your systems and use your platform for the first month. If it hasn’t been worth it, tell us. We’ll refund your setup fee and switch it off.
Who it’s for
Owners of service and project businesses from £1m to £30m, where your team’s time is the biggest cost. Agencies, fit-out and installation firms, professional services.
Under £1m? Start with our free tools. They’ll get you a long way.
Built by someone who’s been where you are.
Phil Cotton. The profit connector.
Phil grew his first business from startup to £3.5m and sold it in 2018. Then he joined the board of an £18m business where revenue was up and profit was falling. 18 months later, net profit had more than doubled. The business went on to £30m.
Phil leads every client personally. A small team of developers and AI specialists builds and runs each platform.
