Ahoy, fellow entrepreneurial sailors! Are you ready to chart a course towards smooth sailing and tranquil waters in the rough seas of small business ownership? Well, batten down the hatches, because I’ve discovered an innovative incentive pay plan that turns teamwork into treasure!
You see, at Calculated Moves, we’re not just your average CPA firm. We’re your first mate, your trusty sidekick, your reliable navigator, steering you clear of the turbulent waves of tax woes and accounting agonies. We’re here to help you boost profits and keep Uncle Sam off your back, so you can focus on doing what you really love—like perfecting your ship-in-a-bottle collection or mastering the art of sea shanty karaoke.
But enough about us, let’s dive into the real gem of this tale—the unique incentive pay plan that’s got small businesses singing our praises (and not just because we promised them a round of grog).
Picture this: a manufacturing plant, bustling with activity. Ten workstations, each manned by a crew of three to five workers. As products sail down the assembly line, quality checks are in place like vigilant lighthouse keepers. If a worker’s product is recalled, they fix it—but the entire team must wait until the issue is resolved.
Here’s where things get interesting: overtime affects the team’s bonus. That’s right, if one member works beyond 8 hours to fix a mistake, the entire team loses out on potential bonus earnings. This setup encourages team members to quickly address each other’s errors, fostering collaboration and accountability faster than you can say “Yo-ho-ho!”
Does this system sound tough? Maybe. But remember, no sailor ever discovered new lands without leaving the shore. This incentive plan not only motivates individuals to excel but also fosters a collaborative environment. Team members are incentivized to identify and rectify issues promptly, ensuring the overall success of the team and safeguarding their collective bonus.
So, fellow small business owners, what do you think? Could this approach help your company navigate towards greater profits and happier employees? I’m eager to hear your thoughts and experiences with different incentive plans. Drop anchor in the comments below and let’s chart our course together!
At Calculated Moves, we’re all about strategic planning and financial preparedness for the win. So, let’s hoist the sails, seize the day, and embark on this exciting voyage towards small business success together!
Ahoy, mateys! Let’s set sail towards a future where accounting headaches are a thing of the past and your small business is cruising in calm waters. Anchors aweigh!

Creativity and CPAs don’t generally go together. Most people think of CPAs as nerdy accountants who can’t talk with people. Well, it’s time to break that stereotype. Lively, friendly, and knowledgeable can be a part of your relationship with your CPA, as demonstrated by Donna and Chad Bordeaux. They have over 50 years of combined experience as entrepreneurial CPAs. They’ve owned businesses and helped business owners exceed their wildest dreams. They have been able to help businesses earn many times more profit than the average business in the same industry and are passionate about helping industries that help families build great memories.
