What Changed Because of Purpose Factory

Building a profitable company often comes down to one unglamorous but crucial skill: knowing exactly where your time is going. In the fast-moving world of financial services and startups, it’s easy to confuse growth with health—until cash flow realities expose the difference. Many founders are forced to confront whether their energy is spent building value or just treading water. The companies that adapt often do so by embracing discipline: installing systems that reveal which clients, projects, and processes truly move the needle. This kind of clarity transforms negotiations, giving leaders the data they need to make bold decisions—raising fees, renegotiating terms, or walking away from work that doesn’t serve the mission.

Harris, CPA, Founder and Partner at Cobalt Fund Services, who has seen firsthand how a structured approach, shaped through Purpose Factory, can change a company’s trajectory.
