Timesheets are for suckers. They create unintended negative consequences for your firm, your staff, and your clients. The problem we have as a profession is that we don’t think we can survive without them. But just like boyfriends in college, not only can you live without them, you’re better off without them. We will tackle the three most prominent objections to running a firm without timesheets: (1) managing staff, (2) cost accounting, and (3) pricing.

Learning Objectives:

• Give examples of how to manage staff and projects without timesheets effectively


• Identify how your firm’s cost accounting can be more effective and usable without timesheets


• Determine how to price your firm’s services more profitably without timesheets
