Most people realize it’s time to grow their team after they’ve been overrun with work—i.e. when it’s too late.
Let’s face it: If you’re running your own business valuation firm, you’re a pretty confident person who can handle some hard work. As the projects start piling up, you flex: you can handle it all! Until that last straw hits the camel’s back. You realize you haven’t slept in days and just looking at the stack of documents in front of you makes you want to weep.
Once you hit that wall you’re no longer performing optimally for your clients. You’re overworked and overstressed and you need help ASAP but you don’t have time to recruit people, train them, and supervise them.
Specifically, you need more hands on deck. Easier said than done, however. Do you know how much it costs to fully onboard a new hire? The average price is around $4,000. Not exactly chump change, especially if much of your work is non-recurring.
Plus, the average cost goes up depending on the individual’s role. More senior-level or technical roles—like those at business valuation firms—have higher onboarding costs. You’re spending money before you even find out if the new hire is worth it—and if your current heavy workload is going to continue long enough to amortize the upfront costs over a long tenure.
