Hi I am Dylan! 

I've been building businesses from the ground up for 12+ years. I am a recent Dad of 2 boys under 2.5! My work informs one goal…. to spend more time with my family. 

But, I wasn’t like this always. I ground myself to a nub for nearly 9 years and in 2019 I closed a business, I didn’t exit, I closed it. I failed. 

I was completely burnt out. I wasn’t just tired. I was medically burnt out, a doctor said, “you need to stop or you’re going to die”. I was 32. 

The thing is, I am an entrepreneur by trade; I love growing businesses from scratch. But I am not going to die for it, not again.

I founded Profit Launchpad, a hybrid of consultancy and agency, to address the foundational challenges service businesses face as they approach and surpass their first million in revenue, countering the common practice of overworking and under-earning.

Here’s what our clients say:

“It’s super refreshing work with Dylan. After years of consultants and agencies, nothing had really worked out. Dylan focuses right in on the core problems of the business; sometimes it’s painful to hear, but his method clearly works. I am now taking home more money in my business and working even a little bit less.

👋 Lawyers & Fellow Professional Services Firm Owners,

Are you buried in billable hours, but your bank balance barely budges?

Want to grow, but lack financial and strategic guidance?

Do you seek freedom over your time and income?

I started my own firm, Flight Financial, to gain autonomy over my time and earnings. 

🛫 Why 'Flight'? Because it symbolizes freedom, momentum, direction, and raising your firm to unprecedented heights.

Today, I’m committed to guiding you towards experiencing that same sense of liberation and clarity for your firm.

My clients work 40 hours or less per week and have profits in excess of $500,000 per year, without financial unknowns and stress.

At Flight Financial, we have a 6-step One Clear Path system for your firm that will give you the roadmap to that lifestyle.

Within the first 30 days you’ll have a bulletproof plan in hand to gain at least a 2x return on our service in the first year - the sky’s the limit!

➡️ Simplified Financial Mastery: No convoluted jargon, just tailored insights. Each month, you’ll get an easy-to-understand 1-page scoreboard that will clearly show you what’s working and what needs improvement in your business. No need to look at boring or confusing financial accounting statements.
