WHAT TALENT REALLY COSTS YOUR FIRM<\/h6>\n\t\t
\n
\n \t\t\t

70%<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Of a professional firm's cost structure is people<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

200% of salary<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Cost to replace a senior billable professional<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

$98,800\/yr<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Avg. salary of one in-house HR manager<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

5 hrs\/wk<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Billable time partners lose to HR admin<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n \t\t\t
SOUND FAMILIAR?<\/h6>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Every people problem is a margin problem.<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

When billable people are the business, HR is how you protect revenue, reputation, and the partners' time.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n
\n \t\t\t
01<\/h6>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Your best people are your biggest flight risk<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Top billers get recruited constantly. Without a real retention story, you're one counteroffer from losing the book of business they carry.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t
02<\/h6>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Compensation is guesswork<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Salary, bonus, and profit share set by feel. New hires get bid up while loyal staff fall behind \u2014 pay compression becomes your next resignation wave.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t
03<\/h6>\n\t\t\t\t\t

There's no path to the top<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Ambitious associates ask \"what's next\" and get a vague answer. Talented people leave when the partner or principal track is undefined.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t
04<\/h6>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Hiring credentialed talent takes forever<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

CPAs, attorneys, and senior consultants are scarce and slow to land. With no pipeline, roles sit open while the team eats the overflow.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t
05<\/h6>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Reviews measure hours, not growth<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Performance is judged on utilization alone. Without development and feedback, your seniors plateau and start taking recruiter calls.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t
06<\/h6>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Burnout quietly erodes the margin<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Crunch seasons with no capacity planning. The cost shows up later \u2014 a replaced senior can run 200% of salary once you count lost billings.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

Market-benchmarked salary bands, bonus formulas, and profit-share models that reward the right behavior \u2014 and fix the pay compression pushing seniors out.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n
