Why You Need to Quantify Your Onboarding Cost

Most firm owners know onboarding is slow, but they can't put a number on it. Without data, it's impossible to justify investing in better systems. This calculator gives you the hard numbers — total hours, dollar cost, and percentage of billable capacity consumed — so you can make an informed decision about automating your intake workflow.
