About Print Business Advisor

For decades, the Printing Industries of America (PIA) financial ratio studies were the industry standard for benchmarking financial performance. Companies would purchase the printed reports and manually compare their numbers against industry benchmarks.

That all changed in 2018, when Profectus Inc. and PIA launched the PIA Performance Ratios (later renamed Print Business Advisor) —a fully automated, web-based financial analysis and benchmarking platform designed specifically for printing and packaging businesses.

The Print Business Advisor streamlines the entire process by using intelligent data entry, automation, and advanced analytics to generate a personalized Performance Analysis Report (PAR). Each report delivers deep insights into a company’s financial health—highlighting over 100 industry-specific ratios and KPIs across profitability, payroll, SG&A, cash flow, inventory, and asset utilization.

Whether you're trying to identify inefficiencies, improve profitability, or validate strategic decisions, Print Business Advisor gives you the data-driven insights to take your business to the next level.
