Explore how Relaso Billing Pro automates the workflows discussed in this guide.
Beyond Top-Line Revenue
An agency can generate $2 Million in revenue and still be unprofitable if its staff utilization and hourly realization rates are misaligned. Tracking team productivity and effective billing realization is essential for growth.
The Key Formulas
- Utilization Rate: (Billable Hours Logged ÷ Total Available Working Hours) × 100. (Industry benchmark: 70% to 80%).
- Realization Rate: (Actual Invoiced Amount ÷ Standard List Price Value of Hours Logged) × 100. Disclosing excessive discounts or unbilled write-offs.
