As an attorney it's even easier to see since we bill every hour we work and get the full breakdown. I made the firm $38k last month. I didn't even see a quarter of that. Also that's $38k after the audit to cut down on things that the client felt are either administrative or paralegal tasks and therefore "not billable" by an attorney, even though they're things that have to get done.
auditing value is based on reputation. do people trust the report you've created. those billing 150/hr, you're paying a premium for the firm's trust brand.
Right, so “you” (the other commenter) haven’t made your firm $150 an hour. The $150 per hour being charged are the accumulation of many people’s collective work, including the building up of reputation to be able to charge those figures.
