Owner Pay & Profit Allocation
The bank balance is not your money — allocate every euro the day it lands, and pay yourself from the arithmetic rather than the mood.
What it is
What the owner takes out, decided by arithmetic instead of nerve. Strips revenue to the money that was actually yours, rebuilds the true cost including the bills that arrive once a year, sizes the tax reserve before the draw, and splits every euro on arrival into buckets that are real accounts rather than intentions. Leaves the fixed draw that survives a bad month, the trigger that raises it deliberately, and the flag for a business subsidised by its owner. For founders and practice owners paid last.
What you receive
a defensible answer to what the owner takes out — the affordable draw computed from the business's own trailing twelve months rather than from the bank balance, every euro allocated on arrival into named buckets with the tax reserve funded first, the fixed draw that survives a bad month plus the periodic profit distribution, and the quarterly review that raises the draw deliberately against a reserve target in months of cost
