Hiring another clinician can feel like the obvious next move when your practice is growing.
But then comes the part nobody gets excited about:
Can your practice actually afford the hire?
Because there is usually a gap between the day someone joins your team and the day their caseload is full enough to cover what it costs to have them there.
And if you did not plan for that ramp-up period, a few months can go by and suddenly you are staring at your numbers wondering where all the money went. 😬
That is why I brought CFO Carla Titus onto The Traveling Therapist Podcast.
We talked about what you need to know before you hire, including:
→ How to financially prepare for the ramp-up period.
→ What cash runway means when you are adding someone to your team.
→ How to keep an eye on a remote clinician's performance without constantly checking numbers.
→ What to do when someone is not hitting the numbers you expected.
→ How to recognize when it might be time to let an underperforming team member or vendor go.
If another hire is anywhere on your radar, this is an episode you will want to hear first.
Comment CFO and I’ll send the episode straight to your DMs.
