Question. I started my own firm and am getting some contract work. The client technically hired me to do the work however some of it I could hand off to my associates. There are no billing differences as it's already a discounted rate. Is it wrong for my associates to do the work and to just bill the client without saying associate 1 did this associate 2 did that?

Congrats on starting your own firm! I don’t know the answer, but I guess if I were the client I would like to know who is working on my stuff. Just a little transparency goes a long way.

Totally transparency would be the best answer. However, I'm not quite in a position to do that based on who the client is. However billing 15 hours in 7 hours might tip them off.

My current consulting role is not - so this would be new.

I’ve only been there 1 yr and I know my current manager also has some higher level items in securities ops he wants me to do as well.
