"In my experience, any metrics that need an accountant to decipher will not hold the interest of an entrepreneur for long. **Revenue per person is a ‘back of a napkin’ number that works for small companies**. As a business matures, it might switch over to gross profit per person or EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortisation) per person if it has access to this information easily in real time."
