What happens when you take the audit?

In around 15 minutes, the In-Flight Profit Audit takes you through the key areas that contribute to a healthy, profitable business.

The result? A colour-coded snapshot of where things stand, delivered straight away:

Green = areas that are working well

Yellow = areas that could use some attention

Pink = areas with opportunity for improvement

The goal isn't to turn everything green. It's to see your business clearly, so you can decide what to work on next — one thing at a time, not everything at once.

Hi,

I'm Kat

I know how overwhelming it can feel trying to work out what you should be doing to grow a profitable small business — especially when there always seems to be something else you could be doing.

I started The Helpful Academy in 2015 to make growing a business feel simpler and more manageable. Since then, I've helped over 1,000 small business owners improve their businesses through practical courses, tools and support.

I've learned that growing a successful business isn't about doing all the things. It's about understanding what your business needs right now, and taking it one step at a time.

That's exactly what the In-Flight Profit Plan is designed to help you do.

How long will the PROCESS take?

Most people complete the In-Flight Profit Audit in around 10–15 minutes. There are no right or wrong answers — simply choose the answer that best reflects where your business is right now.

Do I need to work through the whole Profit Plan?

No! Your Profit Plan is designed to help you focus on what your business needs most right now.

Start with your Audit results, use the Priority Pathway to choose where to focus first, then head to the relevant section of your Plan for practical questions, actions and resources.

When you're ready, you can come back and choose your next priority.

Is this suitable for a new business?

Yes. You don't need to have everything figured out before completing the Profit Audit.

Your results will help you see which foundations are already in place and which areas would be most useful to focus on as your business grows.

What if several areas of my business need improvement?

That's completely normal — and you don't need to tackle them all at once.

Your Profit Plan includes a simple Priority Pathway to help you decide where to start. Focus on one priority, make some progress, then come back for the next one.

Can I use the Profit Audit again?

Yes. Your business will change as you make improvements, so it's useful to revisit the Audit periodically.

You can compare your results, see the progress you've made and decide what makes sense to focus on next.

What is your refund policy?

Because you'll receive immediate access to your personalised digital Profit Plan, we don't offer refunds for change of mind.

Of course, this doesn't affect any rights you may have under New Zealand consumer law.
