Introduction

Although recording time has been the method of choice in professional services charging for hundreds of years, it is rare for any such business not to encounter problems in capturing and realising all the time being spent.

This virtual classroom seminar will examine why time recording is vital in achieving financial success with hourly rate billing, its uses in management information and the detail needed to support and inform the time spent.

There will also be discussion around the alternatives and what these could bring to your business and profitability.

  • The pros and cons of time recording
  • The relationship between time and profit
  • Why we have time leakage and how to avoid it

  • Using time recording as a management tool
  • What should be in your engagement documents
