What is your staff to client ratio? How did you determine when to hire add’l help?
We have $50mm AUM, 400+ clients, one licensed advisor, one unlicensed assistant (FT).

I’m getting ready to start my FT position as a HUC (Health Unit Coordinator) in Labor and Delivery. I know it will be a while before I do anything of the sort, or IF I do anything of the sort. But I wondered if there were any other HUCs on here who crosstrained? (Wether as a PCT Patient Care Tech, Medical Records, or Telemetry?) was it worth it?
