Using a representative sample of companies, we look at the data around G&A.

Key takeaways:

  • There is consistency in the ratio of G&A headcount vs. total across company size
  • There is consistency in G&A inclusion of core departments (e.g., HR, Legal)
  • Cost allocation out of G&A correlates with company size
