Key Financial Metrics for Healthy Family Law Firms with Jon Morris - #42
Mar 25, 2024 Episode 42
Jeff Sterling Hughes

Jon Morris is the founder of Rise Interactive, a wildly successful digital agency that he exited a few years ago.  

Since then, Jon has started two more highly successful service businesses: (1) EngineBi (www.enginebi.net)  and (2) Fiscal Advocate (www.fiscaladvocate.com).  

Jon also sits on the Sterling Lawyers Board of Advisors.

Over the years, Jon has discovered the ideal ratios for professional service firms to be healthy.  Here they are:

  • Gross Margin - 50% +
  • Profit - 20%+
  • SG&A - 30% or less (Sales and Marketing - 8%,  Ops and Finance - 15%, and Exec Team - 7%)

Jon breaks all this down and thoroughly explains it. 

Enjoy!

I’m here to share my law firm’s secrets, tactics, and strategies of how we have grown from 0 to 25 attorneys and over $15m in revenue in our first nine years.

Yes! It’s true--even if you compete directly with us. I want to tell you the gritty truth on what worked, what failed, and where we are aiming next.

Here’s why.

My teammates and I envision transforming how family law clients are served.

And we can’t transform the practice of law all by ourselves. We need more lawyers growing their practice, kicking butt / taking names, and winning along with us.

So, follow me and ring that bell up top to get all my latest disclosures.

You can subscribe to "The J. Sterling Hughes Show" Podcast. I go into a ton of detail in the podcast.

When I’m not spilling the goods on our firm's story, I am Winona’s husband, and our six kids' daddy. ❤️

I also love me some fishin’ as often as I can. It’s also occasionally fun to catch a fish too!
