Little improvements in certain metrics can make a big difference:

  • One additional hour of billable time a day would result in $46,000 in revenue (1 hour x 230 days x billing rate of $200 = $46,000)
     
  • If the average time between work performance and billing can be improved from 2.1 months to 1.6 months, your firm will have a permanent increase of ½ of one month’s collected revenue.
     
  • If the average time between billing and collection can be improved from 2.7 months to 2.2 months, your firm will have a permanent increase of ½ of one month’s collected revenue.
