Billing is up, with almost the same team
The same 12 people log 28.6 hours a week; a year ago, 25.3. Work that was done and not written down was never billed. And since February there's one more person on the team.
Hours are logged the same day, and more of them
Apr–Aug 2025, from memory
13 of every 100 the same day · 45 of every 100 four or more days late
Apr–Aug 2026, the same day
86 of every 100 the same day · 2 of every 100 four or more days late
Until February the week was written down on Friday, from memory. Since Mar 2, 2026 everyone logs their day in the dashboard.
Invoices go out on the first business day, and the money arrives sooner
They used to go out around business day 12, once someone had gathered the hours. Now the dashboard builds them and they go out on day 1.
A 40-hour retainer is taking more than twice that
Pays $6K a month for 40 hours and asks for 88.3 on average. In Apr–Aug that was 241 extra hours. See profitability by client
