Richard & Profit First

About 

You didn’t start your business to feel overwhelmed, underpaid, and constantly stressed about money.
But if that’s where you’ve found yourself, you’re not alone. And you’re not the problem.

I’m Richard Hinz, and I created Profit Max to help salon and beauty business owners like you take back control of your finances, your focus, and your future.

After 25 years in tax and small business advisory, I saw too many passionate owners working themselves into burnout with nothing left to show for it.

That’s why I built Profit Max, not to give you more to do, but to give you a system that finally works.

Who Is

Richard

Richard Hinz is a business growth and financial strategy expert with over 25 years of experience helping business owners take control of their money, and their future.

As a CPA, licensed tax agent, and previously the Managing Director of Presidential Accounting, Richard has worked with hundreds of small businesses across Australia to simplify their finances, reduce tax stress, and unlock sustainable growth.

But Profit Max was born from something deeper.

After years of working with salon and beauty business owners, Richard saw the same pattern over and over: passionate people doing great work, but constantly under pressure, struggling to pay themselves, drowning in debt, and feeling like they were failing behind the scenes.

He knew there had to be a better way.

He uses a system that has completely reshaped how he helps business owners manage cash flow, eliminate financial chaos, and finally get paid what they deserve.

Richard now works directly with salon owners to replace the shame, stress, and silence around money with clarity, structure, and support, so they can grow confidently, feel in control, and love their business again.

“Behind every beautiful salon is a business owner who deserves to be paid – not just praised.”

Richard’s Experience + Cashflow system = A Business That Finally Works for You

After decades in accounting and advisory, Richard saw the same story playing out again and again — passionate business owners doing incredible work… but still stressed, underpaid, and constantly one step behind financially.

He knew spreadsheets weren’t the solution.
He knew bandaid advice wasn’t enough.
So he built something better.

Profit Max is where real experience meets the right system.

It’s the structure, support, and guidance you need to stop the chaos, clear the debt, and finally feel in control of your business — without burning out in the process.

You bring the passion.
Profit Max brings the clarity.

Together, we build the version of your business that actually works, for your life, your values, and your future.
