Firm and Project Profitability:

Understanding the Difference and What It Means for Your Bottom Line  

Part 7 of the ‘Designing Your Business’ Masterclass Series


Now Available On Demand

* Originally aired on Wednesday, July 20, 2022

 


There are many ways to analyze profit and understand profit. Typically, principals and accountants alike look at how much money is in your firm’s bank account at the end of the year. In this webinar, we will go much deeper and review the metrics and tools necessary to understand both your project profitability and your firm profitability. We will define a critical KPI, the cost rate multiplier, and review the difference between utilization rate and efficiency rate. We will also define what your billing target per month should be in order to reach your goals.  

By the end of this session, you will learn how to:

1

Explain the relationship between project profitability and office profitability 

2

Define your break-even multiplier and get your true cost rate 

3

Distinguish between utilization rate and efficiency rate 

4

Analyze your firm’s maximum office billing potential
