Having the confidence to make hiring decisions – because you know your numbers

Bringing on board a new member of staff. I used the monthly profit and loss statements to my advantage in bringing on a new receptionist. I was reluctant to do this at first because I always thought about whether we would be spending too much and be overstaffed. However I was able to see that we were consistently under the 17.5% benchmark for salary so I asked the accountant to work in a hypothetical new staff member and we were still just under. This gave me the reassurance and confidence to take on board a new member of staff, which has now proved to be quite productive as I notice more things getting done! So thanks for that as without the understanding of the accounts I wouldn’t have been brave enough to make that decision. A 2019 client
