Billable hours: it's like the heartbeat of profitability, right? But here's the kicker – many of us are kinda dropping the ball when it comes to tracking these hours accurately. According to a recent tribes.ai study, manual time tracking methods are letting 1 in 5 billable hours go unrecorded.
That's a whopping 20% of your billable hours down the drain. 20% of your profitability lost.

Let’s do the maths
Imagine you're working a 35-hour week, and let's be optimistic and say 80% of that is billable. If your hourly rate is $80, those manual time tracking methods might mean you’re missing out on $448 per week!
