— Owners using it
Real crews. Real savings. Real fast.
"Read the Blueprint on a Tuesday, called Matt on Wednesday. Saved $11k in the first quarter just from the workers' comp reclass."
Carlos R.
HVAC, Henderson NV
"I've had 3 CPAs in 12 years. None of them mentioned half the stuff in this PDF. Wish I'd had it 5 years ago."
Danny T.
General Contractor, Las Vegas
"The reasonable-salary worksheet alone is worth more than what most agencies charge per month."

— This is for you if…
- You own a blue-collar business doing $500k–$5M/yr
- You're an LLC or sole prop and feel like you're overpaying
- Your CPA only talks to you in March and April
- You've never heard the words 'reasonable salary' before
- You bought equipment in 2025 and don't know what you wrote off
— This is NOT for you if…
- ×You're a W-2 employee with no side business
- ×You want sketchy 'offshore' loopholes
- ×You think paying tax is a personality trait
- ×You're already running a clean S-Corp w/ a strategist

4 offices across Vegas, Phoenix, San Diego, and Reno. Hundreds of blue-collar owners served. Zero IRS audits triggered by our strategies. We wrote the Blueprint because most CPAs are filing forms — not finding money.

— Common questions
The 4 things every owner asks first.
Is this really free?+
Yes. We give it away because once you see what's possible, a small percentage of you book a paid audit. The other 95% just save themselves money. Either way we win.
Do I need a new CPA?+
Not necessarily. The Blueprint is designed so you can hand the worksheets directly to your existing CPA. If they push back on legitimate IRS-approved strategies… that tells you something.
Will this trigger an audit?+
Every strategy in the Blueprint is built on published IRS rules. Reasonable salary, S-Corp elections, Section 179 — these are tools the IRS literally created. Used correctly, they reduce audit risk.
I'm not in Vegas. Does this still apply?+
Federal strategies (S-Corp, depreciation, QBI, kid-hire) apply in all 50 states. The state-specific sections cover NV, AZ, CA, and the Mountain West.

— Founder story
Built by blue-collar, for blue-collar.
Profit First Payroll was founded by Matt Frechette, who brings 20+ years of hands-on experience in blue-collar environments. He's seen shops thrive — or unravel — because of poor cash flow, inconsistent owner pay, late crew checks, and workers' comp audit nightmares. PFP is built explicitly for trades and labor-heavy businesses: proper crew classification, project-based volatility, and protecting profit in high-risk industries.
