WHAT TO INVEST AT EVERY STAGE.

You always need the whole seat. What changes is the shape of each role — and what it should cost.

How the seat changes as you grow

Set your revenue first — the outlined band is your stage, with what that shape usually costs. Then enter what you currently pay each role, and your Health score if you have it.

These ranges are ballpark. Every business has details a slider can’t see — a partner who does the books, a CPA who’s also your advisor, a season that changes everything. If you’d like to talk through what this means for your company, let’s have a conversation.
Ranges are Amplify estimates for U.S. founder-led businesses, informed by U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, the Robert Half Salary Guide, and published fractional-service pricing. Updated September 2026.

Survey data

Published rate guides

Survey data is collected from employers. Rate guides are published by firms that sell these services, so read them as market signal rather than a survey. The industry adjustment is Amplify’s own judgment, not a published dataset.
