Analyze and improve:
Print Business Advisor automatically analyzes your financial statements, operational data, and more than 100 industry-specific ratios, KPIs, and benchmarks - using AI-assisted analysis and a holistic evaluation of hundreds of interconnected data points to uncover trends, inefficiencies, risks, opportunities, and financial relationships that are often difficult to recognize manually.
No complicated surveys. No spreadsheets. No waiting months for results.
Just clear financial and operational intelligence built specifically for printing and packaging companies.

The challenge is that most owners and financial managers never have the time, tools, or resources to fully analyze what all of that information is actually revealing.
As a result, important issues often go unnoticed:
Print Business Advisor helps transform complex financial and operational data into actionable business intelligence.
For more than a century, the Printing Industries of America Financial Ratio Studies helped printing companies benchmark profitability, compare performance, and identify operational improvement opportunities.
In 2018, Profectus and PIA transformed this long-standing industry resource into a dynamic web-based platform.
Today, that evolution continues with Print Business Advisor - a modern AI-assisted financial and operational analysis platform built exclusively for printing and packaging companies.
Print Business Advisor modernizes and expands the original Financial Ratio Studies with:
Unlike traditional ratio studies, there are no surveys, long waiting periods, or manual calculations.
Your benchmarking and analysis results are available immediately.
See How Your Business Compares
See how your company compares against printing and packaging companies throughout the United States and Canada using real industry financial and operational benchmark data.
Quickly identify where your company outperforms competitors, where margins and costs may be under pressure, where staffing or operational inefficiencies may exist, and which areas offer the greatest opportunities for improvement.
Gain side-by-side comparisons across more than 100 industry benchmarks, ratios, and KPIs including:
Select comparison groups based on company size, printing process, sales volume, geographic region, market segment, and industry profit leaders for more meaningful, apples-to-apples benchmarking.
AI-assisted analysis uses your selected comparison criteria along with thousands of interconnected financial and operational data points to uncover benchmark relationships, performance trends, inefficiencies, risks, and opportunities that are often difficult to recognize through traditional financial analysis alone.
More importantly, the relationships between those numbers reveal how your business is truly performing.
Print Business Advisor converts your financial and operational data into meaningful financial intelligence - helping you better understand the deeper factors affecting profitability, cash flow, payroll efficiency, overhead structure, liquidity, productivity, and overall operational performance.
Quickly evaluate gross margins, SG&A expenses, factory costs, payroll structure, working capital, inventory levels, and net profitability to identify cost imbalances, overhead creep, margin erosion, and operational inefficiencies before they become larger financial problems.
Business performance is rarely determined by a single year.
Print Business Advisor allows you to enter financial and operational information for multiple years so you can identify important trends and performance changes over time.
