Curious, what other firms are already charging or are planning to charge and admin fee on top of actual fees, the equivalent of a junk fee from a CPA firm? What % junk fees have you seen or charged?

Are you talking about internal metrics or to clients? All the firms I’ve worked for had admin/ tech fees accounted for when tracking profitability. But I’ve never seen these billed to clients as line items.

Nothing like that on my private audit engagements so far

5% admin and tech fee at my place. Top 10 firm.

No admin or technology fee at my firm

5 to 10 percent admin fee.

5%, but practically, most billing is at less than 95% realization, so it’s more of a presentational thing since since we’re not actually billing 100% WIP plus an extra 5% on top.
