How much should you pay your employees? Charge your clients? Spend on marketing?
If you manage an advisory practice, these questions are never far away, because the answers change with every shift in the industry. That’s why, for the first year ever, InvestmentNews is publishing its full Study of Compensation & Staffing alongside an update to our Study of Pricing & Profitability.
For more than a decade, this series of benchmarking reports has helped firms make evidence-based decisions about the future of their practice. The studies, and the online dashboard that they power, break data out by firm evolutionary stage so practice managers can see what peers are doing and continue to compete as they grow from solo practice to multi-professional team and beyond.
