Questions about profitability for agencies
- How do I compare agency retainers fairly?
- Use comparable periods and check that time and project costs are recorded consistently. Review the detail behind each result, including non-billable effort. A large fee alone does not tell you which account is more profitable.
- How should I treat agency time that cannot be billed?
- Keep genuine delivery effort recorded with its correct billable setting. Non-billable work still uses capacity and can affect the cost of serving the account.
