PublicAccounting in a nutshell - Partner: We need to be careful with the WIP so we don’t blow up the budget. Me: Ok, we can drop the 1st year this project isn’t a good one for them - too busy and they burn cause many productive hours. Partner: No, we need them. Me: Ok. Partner: Why did WIP go up? Me: We have redundant hours from people we don’t need on project. Partner: I don’t want WIP to go up. Me: So tell team to eat hours? Partner: No, they need to charge hours worked and be staffed. Me: Ok.
