Meet the Author

I'm Barbara Nuss, CPA, creator of Profit Soup Online. I’ve spent decades teaching franchise executives, franchisees, consultants and emerging entrepreneurs how to master the numbers side of a business and make better financial decisions.

What makes my approach unique? I focus on the business owner, not on academic accounting concepts. I want my learners to make smart decisions that maximize profits and cash flow.

Plus, I want it to be efficient. Busy people don't have time to spend years or even months on classes. And new franchisees need to hit the ground running so they win the race to profit before their cash runs out.

Profit Soup Online was built with time and money in mind.

If you want to cut to the chase and gain the essential financial skills and insights all successful business people need, you've come to the right place.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who should take Profit Soup Online courses? Collapse

Certain series are particularly great for new businesses.  Many franchise systems require new franchisees to complete our Breakeven PLUS series before opening!  Even experienced owners benefit from refreshing and refocusing their financial review routines.  Our courses lead them to evaluate their own financial management habits while they build business improvement plans for their companies.

How long does it take to complete all the courses? Expand

There are 14 courses packaged in five series. Each course takes between 20 and 50 minutes to complete. We recommend taking it slow so things sink in. On average, it takes about 12 hours to complete the entire curriculum.

Should our counselors and leadership teams take the courses, too? Expand

Counselors should always be familiar with the resources they recommend to clients. Coaches and consultants tell us they have more impactful meetings when clients complete courses before they meet to discuss the financials. With the foundations established beforehand, they can spend their time discussing goals and results, and coaching up performance. Why not eliminate the frustration of financial knowledge gaps BEFORE meeting face-to-face?

How much does it cost? Expand

With the SBDC Scholarship Assistance Program, access to Profit Soup Online is free for SBDC personnel for 90 days.  One-year access for all 14 courses sells for $495, but is available to SBDC staff and clients for only $297 due to our special 40% scholarship discount. SBDC counselors will receive further details about the scholarship program when they enroll for their free 90-day access.

How long will my clients and counselors have access to the program? Expand

Counselors have free access for 90 days. Clients and counselors who purchase access using the scholarship discount ($297 investment) have access for a full year from the date they enroll.

What if learners have questions during the course? Expand

Learners can private message their Profit Soup instructor directly through the course. There are also monitored discussion boards where learners post questions, get answers from Profit Soup and comment on fellow students' posts.

Is there any pre-requisite knowledge or background needed to make the most of the course? Expand

No! Just come ready open to learn. We especially love seeing folks who don’t think of themselves as numbers ninjas getting excited about this stuff.

Online Q&A with Profit Soup Instructors

Owens Corning, Regional Sales Leader

“The online platform that Profit Soup uses is great. There were chat rooms and questions. You could see the leaderboard of who was advancing through the courses and who was getting things done. It became a little bit of an internal competition. It was very insightful when you're making corporate decisions to help a customer grow their business.”
