I’ve always believed that our growth is not limited by our clients; our growth has been limited by our capacity to hire. Now that we are part of Anders, we have a bigger presence in the industry and more capital behind us. Hiring won’t be the issue for us that it once was. People say you can’t time the market and, as Adam Hale likes to say, that’s how it goes with people as well. In the past we’d tried to hire six months ahead to build our Virtual CFO capacity, and it rarely worked. Who knows what’s going to happen over those six months? We could get 10 new clients per month and then we’re behind on capacity that quickly or we could experience a six-month dry spell (not that we ever have), and then we’re burning up on costs. With Anders, we can fully embrace the long-term mindset. We’re always going to be a little heavy on the bench in order to make this work, so when we have months where 10-15 new clients come in, we’re going to be able to staff them without any problem and then quickly build the bench back up. That’s a long-term play that we can make with Anders. As we streamline the hiring process and utilize resources from both sides, we can always keep the candidate pipeline open; and we’ve got a bigger, more diverse pool to recruit from. Anders will benefit from the fact that

I quickly realized that growth didn’t only mean growth in size. The merger with Summit offered growth in philosophy and strategy that Anders had not yet fully tapped into.”
