I'm wrapping up my first year of freelancing and will have made the same amount as I did on staff last year... But I had a total of three months off between various bookings, which was a huge plus. Also nerve-wracking! I think my personal risk assessment would change if my partner didn't have a staff job though.

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 .
