  • Valuable Resource to Any Current or Prospective Solo/Small Firm Attorney

    I am way overdue in putting to paper that I recommend this podcast to most lawyers I know. I stumbled across this podcast in late 2023-early 2024 - a time I knew I was going to be making a career jump but didn’t quite know where I’d land.

Scaling Without a CFO Is Just Creative Drowning | Kelley Brubaker
Q: Where can listeners find you and how can they engage your services?
Kelley provides multiple channels: LinkedIn, profitscalethrive.com, YouTube channel, and her podcast; she invites conversations to assess fit and offer guidance toward better strategic steps.
Scaling Without a CFO Is Just Creative Drowning | Kelley Brubaker
Q: What is the true meaning of scale versus growth, and what are common landmines to avoid?
The guest clarifies that scale means doing more work with the same or fewer resources through improved processes and staffing, not simply growing headcount; misaligned growth without systems often amplifies chaos, so proactive planning and KPI-driven management are essential.
Scaling Without a CFO Is Just Creative Drowning | Kelley Brubaker
Q: When does it make sense for a law firm to engage a fractional CFO and how does that decision depend on long-term intent?
She explains that engagement depends on the firm's growth ambitions and desired lifestyle; for firms aiming to scale, a CFO package can provide quarterly or ongoing advisory, ensuring strategic alignment with growth goals, cost management, and reliable decision-making.
Scaling Without a CFO Is Just Creative Drowning | Kelley Brubaker
Q: How did your firm come to be and what is the meaning behind Profit Scale Thrive?

Let Go to Grow: The 'Price' from 2 to 40 Lawyers | Seth Price
Q: What was the original idea behind starting the firm's growth path, and how did it evolve?
The original aim was to monetize a criminal practice and scale the firm's capabilities by leveraging top legal minds; over time they transitioned to a model built on in-house teams, blue-chip marketing, and scalable processes that could be replicated across multiple locations, with a strong emphasis on outcomes over ego.
