Does anyone have advice on how to balance firm responsibilities/connectivity when on client site full time? I’m fully billable for a government client, on site full time, but am at the middle ground/SC level where I have growing company responsibilities, but still a high utilization requirement. I am not allowed to access my firm system on client site, and things are falling through the cracks. Any advice would be very appreciated.

Communicate this to your manager and also setup auto reply on the outlook and status on teams/other communication channels that you are on client site will get back asap. This way they are aware and spread the word that some tasks would be delayed.

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .
