About

Four people, one shared inbox.

We started in 2023 because small businesses kept getting handed off to account managers. We wanted to do the opposite: four people, one inbox, no middle layer.

The four of us

Whichever one of us is best for the job picks up.

A
Avi
FOUNDER · STRATEGY
Runs the studio. Talks to clients. Sends the invoices. Decides what we say yes to.
A
Ace
DEVELOPER
Builds the sites, the web apps, and the AI automations. Thinks in Postgres. Writes the cleanest PRs.
A
Aayush
SEO LEAD
Lives in Search Console. Finds the keywords nobody else is chasing. Reports in plain English.
S
Simran
DESIGNER
Figma, brand, content. Makes sure nothing we ship looks like everyone else.
How we work

Six things we actually do.

We scope tight
Fixed prices, fixed timelines. If scope grows we tell you, we don't surprise you.
We pick up the phone
No account managers. Whoever's doing your work is who you email.
We say no
If we're not the right fit, we say so — and we'll usually know someone who is.
We hand things over
You own the code, the accounts, the data. Nothing proprietary.
We cancel anything monthly
No 12-month lock-ins. If we're not delivering, fire us.
We work with the boring stack
Postgres, React, Node, Google. Things that will still be around in 10 years.

Origin story

Why four people, not forty.

BELIEF

The person doing your work should be the person you talk to.

Avi spent six years in big agencies and watched the same pattern: small clients got handed to junior account managers who had to relay everything through senior strategists who never replied. The work suffered because nobody talking to the client knew the work, and nobody doing the work knew the client.

In late 2023, he started taking on a couple of small clients on the side. No deck, no hierarchy, just doing the work and emailing back inside a few hours. They told him it felt different. So he quit and called Ace, then Aayush, then Simran.

Two years in, we're still four. We've turned down work that would have forced us to hire — because the moment you hire account managers, you have to charge for them, and the work suffers. Instead we've raised our rates a bit and kept things small.

We might grow eventually. If we do, it'll be one careful person at a time, hired the same way: a friend of someone who already works here, who's already great at the thing.

Principles

How we actually work.

These aren't aspirational values. They're the operating rules — the things we'd lose business over if we broke them.

01
No middle layer
No account managers. Whoever does your work is who you email. Replies in hours, not days.
02
Fixed scope, fixed price
You know what you're paying before we start. If scope grows, we say so — we don't surprise-bill.
03
Cancel any month
No 12-month retainers. If we're not delivering, you can fire us with 30 days notice.
04
You own everything
Code, accounts, analytics, content. We don't lock up domains or data. Walk away clean any time.
05
We say no a lot
If we're not the right fit, we say so. Half the time we'll point you to someone better.
06
Boring tech, on purpose
Postgres, React, Node, Google. Stuff a developer in 2030 will still recognise.
Who we serve

Sectors we know well.

We're industry-agnostic but we've leaned into what we keep getting hired for. Pattern-books, briefs, and benchmarks for each.

The stack

What we use, most days.

We pick boring, well-documented tools. If you have an existing stack we'll work in it; if you're starting fresh, this is roughly what we'd reach for.

Timeline

How we got here.

2023
Studio opens
Avi quits the agency. Two clients. One Notion. A WhatsApp group called "the studio".
2024 · Q1
Ace joins
First proper hire. Stops the bottleneck on dev work. Ships our first SaaS MVP.
2024 · Q3
Aayush joins
SEO becomes a real practice. We stop outsourcing it to a freelancer who didn't answer emails.
2025 · Q1
Simran joins
Design and brand finally lives in-house. Visual quality across the board steps up.
2025 · Q4
Move to Beverly Hills
Outgrew the cafe. Took a small studio at 1 Bell Ave. Tea, plants, a whiteboard wall.
2026
You're here
Currently 4 people, ~40 active clients, no plans to hire unless someone unusually good appears.
What we don't do

Six things we'll never do.

We've been on the receiving end of all of these. None of them produced good work, so we left them at the door.

×
Take % of ad spend
It puts us on the wrong side of the table. Flat fees only.
×
Lock-in contracts
12-month retainers with cancellation fees. Not how we keep clients.
×
Project hand-offs
Once you start with one of us, you stay with one of us. No "let me put you in touch with…".
×
Pay-to-play SEO
Buying links, PBNs, content farms. Not a shortcut, just a delayed penalty.
×
Generic strategy decks
40-slide pitches built from a template. We send a 1-pager and a Loom.
×
Race-to-bottom pricing
$99/mo agencies. The math doesn't work and the work shows it.
The studio

1 Bell Ave, Beverly Hills.

Small studio above the shops. Whiteboard wall, two Aeron knock-offs, a kettle that's older than the company. You're welcome to come by — just bring biscuits.

5 minutes from Beverly Hills station. Free street parking after 10am.

Honest notes

Things we'd rather you knew upfront.

NOTE 01
We can't guarantee rankings
Anyone who does is lying. We can guarantee the work, the process, and showing up on time.
NOTE 02
We're not the cheapest
We're also not the most expensive. We're priced where small good agencies sit — somewhere in the middle.
NOTE 03
Sometimes we're full
4 people = a real cap on capacity. We sometimes have a 4–6 week wait. We'll tell you on day one.
NOTE 04
We're Sydney-focused
Most clients are Sydney. Some are wider-NSW or interstate. We don't do international (different timezones break our "reply in hours" rule).
Common questions

Things people ask.

Are you really only four people?
Yes. No silent partners, no offshore teams, no white-labelled freelancers. The four faces on the team page are the team.
Will my work be outsourced?
No. Everything is done in-house. Occasionally we partner with a specialist (e.g. a video shooter for a big production) and we tell you upfront when that happens.
Can I meet you in person?
Yes — we're at 1 Bell Ave, Beverly Hills. We also come to you for kick-offs anywhere in Sydney. WhatsApp / email for everything in between.
Do you have employees or are you contractors?
Mix — Avi is the company, the others are a mix of permanent and long-term retained. Functionally identical to a permanent team.
Are you hiring?
Not actively. If you're Sydney-based and unusually good at design, dev, paid media, or SEO, send us your work — hello@theprofitplatform.com.au.
Why Beverly Hills?
It's where Avi lives. Cheap rent, near the train, away from the noise of the CBD. Most client meetings are at their office or over video anyway.
