Any firms in the San Diego area where you don't have to track every minute of your day? I'm so sick of entering my time and billable hours. I've heard some firms are moving to value billing models.

Hey man, love the sass but I was making a joke :) good luck with your search

Which firms?

That's what I'm asking. I know Considine & Considine does value billing.

Value billing is a great idea. However, how do you manage the business and figure out which projects are profitable, which aren’t, etc? Answer: you track hours by project.

I get the point your making. I just disagree. Wealth advisors don't track billable hours so they don't know how much time is spent on each client. By your argument, that means all wealth firms aren't well run. I don't think that's true.

Ballpark your time spent vs. tracking every single minute. Boom, problem solved.

I'm a long time prosecutor getting into the ID game and billable hours. Are there any resources out there that can help me get more effective/efficient without spending months/years learning the hard way? Some days I'm at the office 10 hours, took virtually no breaks and yet only bill 7. 🤬

Have any of you taken "low bono" clients while working at a firm? I want to take on a low bono client or two but not sure who would get the money. This is a contract opportunity through a non profit so I'm assuming a 1099 will be issued. The per hour rate is significantly less than my billable rate. I would (obviously) like the money but my real objective is just getting experience/networking since I recently moved to a new state and don't have clients of my own.

Does anyone run a business in addition to their firm? I’m a solo and I’m doing pretty well with about 60-70 billable hours a month. Though that leaves a lot of downtime. Curious if anyone has any second businesses that require about 20 hours a week. Not looking for passive income or franchise ideas though.

Went from a big firm to work for a smaller firm. The people in the smaller firm are protective of their work and are good by their work too. I no longer feel chaos or stress. I am treated with respect and my schedule is more normal. I am even working more billable hours than before, but it feels like a seamless experience. I don’t work then past 5pm or anything out of the ordinary for this time of the year. I am so grateful!
