    Scaling Your Firm

    What's the difference between growth and scaling?

    Growth vs scaling for accounting firms is an important distinction — growth means adding revenue by adding resources, while scaling means adding revenue without proportionally increasing costs.

    Growth means increasing revenue by adding more resources (people, hours, expenses), while scaling means increasing revenue without proportionally increasing costs. Scaling is more profitable because you're leveraging technology and systems rather than just trading more time for more money.
