Hi I’m Jay Aldebert
What I do best is diagnose and fix the real problems inside a business. Not surface stuff. Not band-aids. The real mechanics that make or break profitability.
I call myself anti-accounting—not because I hate math, but because accounting lives in the past. Waiting for a P&L report is like watching yesterday’s scoreboard. It tells you what already happened, but it won’t help you win today’s game. And in business, waiting on old numbers is exactly how owners lose winnable games.
I don’t cosult, I diagnose
After 25 years and more than 86,000 business analyses, I’ve seen every version of the same problem: owner operators running hard, generating revenue, and still coming up short at the end of the month. Not because they’re bad at their trade. Because nobody ever gave them the right financial instruments to run their business.
So I built them.
As founder, President and CEO of Profit by Design Consulting and Chief Growth Officer at International Services Inc., I’ve spent my career developing diagnostic systems that give small and midsize business owners real clarity about their own finances. In real time. Not after the fact.
I’m not an accountant. I’m not interested in what your P&L says about last quarter. I’m interested in what your business needs right now to survive, grow, and pay you what you deserve. My flagship system, the Return to Owner diagnostic, maps your true cost structure, calculates your Minimum Mandatory Profit, and produces a clear prescription for what needs to change. No guesswork.
No benchmarks borrowed from someone else’s operation. Just your number, clearly laid out.
Less accounting. More clarity.

Built for the trades. Proven across industries.
My work is concentrated where the real economy lives: plumbing, HVAC, electrical, construction, manufacturing, and trucking. These are the businesses that keep everything running. They’re also the businesses that have historically been left out of serious financial advisory.
If your business generates between $1M and $50M in annual revenue and you’ve ever wondered where the money actually goes, you’re exactly who this was built for.
