AAS folks - What are your utilization targets for senior and manager? What does the denominator include/exclude (besides the standard 2080 hour work year)? Thanks!

FAAS is 90’s for seniors with managers in the 80’s%

Pretty much all time charged to anything but clients takes away from utilization

CMAAS seniors have a 79% target this year but that’s because anything less and your annual bonus starts to be diminished. I’d say 85%-105% is more to be expected
