Understanding Client Capacity
Establishing a clear understanding of client capacity is crucial for accounting firms. Professionals need to differentiate between maximum and optimal capacity, the former being the total clients they can serve while maintaining quality, and the latter being the ideal number that allows for work-life balance and growth. For instance, a firm owner may initially think they can handle 40 clients, but after evaluating their workflows and stress levels, they might determine that 25 is more optimal for sustained quality of service. This type of assessment helps firm owners to focus on high-value clients and provides opportunities for better pricing strategies.
