This Week on Quantum Growth for Financial Advisors, Jon Kuttin and Jon Randall discussed the challenges financial advisors face in managing and segmenting clients—especially the risks of carrying too many low-value relationships.
They explained that solo advisors should aim to serve about 150 clients, while team leaders should keep caseloads closer to ~95 clients per advisor. This balance helps maintain efficiency and quality of service.
Kuttin emphasized the cost side: serving a client typically runs around $2,500 a year. To remain profitable, each client needs to generate at least $5,000 in revenue. Many firms now go further, setting minimum revenue thresholds closer to $7,000 per client. This shift pushes advisors to focus less on assets under management and more on actual revenue.
Both Kuttin and Randall stress the importance of being intentional about client selection. By focusing on clients who are productive and aligned with the firm’s growth goals, advisors can build stronger, more profitable practices.
