To the KPMG user who keeps posting about billable rate and salary:

This is a bad idea because other firms will use that information to undercut KPMG.

There is also no point in comparing billable rate to salary...

Obviously there's a direct relationship but why does it matter? Unless you're a partner trying to flex how much money you can save your firm.

It is useful to know your rate and total hours billed to know your value to your company come reviews

I’m familiar with utilization which is basically your spread. It is a more simplistic way to look at your revenue generated.

When you start selling and delivering projects, margin becomes a more focused metric. Your utilization is better if you bill 50 hours at $200, but your value is obviously greater if you bill 45 at $225 or $250.

If you choose to work closely with senior managers, directors, and principals that are focusing on and delivering margin and hitting the right blend and hours thresholds, then while your utilization is lower, you are actually doing more valuable work. If your counterparts have higher utilization but you’ve been driving better margin, it helps to highlight this with your counselor in your review case.
