Blocking Spoofed Email

One of my client's user received an email that outlook said was from his boss asking to have money transfer. The user contacted the supposed sender of the email and he did not send it. 

Here is the censored header:

Internal User 1 is the receiving party and internal user 2 is the supposed sender.

We have an SPF record setup with a hard fail. I read a similar post that recommended blocking external email from our domain, but we have another company that sends mail on our behalf, including sending to us. Any ideas on how we can prevent this from happening again?

I have blocked the actual source domain of the email, but it won't take much for the spammer to change..

Thanks!
Bob
