How we calculated this +
Hours recovered per year is calculated as: Staff × Hours Lost Per Week × 52. This reflects the total billable capacity your firm is currently losing to administrative overhead — chasing down project statuses, reconciling disconnected systems, and manually assembling data that should be available at a glance.
Revenue capacity recovered applies your average billing rate to those recovered hours: Hours Recovered × Billing Rate. This is capacity, not guaranteed revenue — it represents what your team could bill if that time were redirected to client work.
Write-down recovery estimates the revenue currently lost to billing gaps — incomplete time capture, delayed invoicing, and scope creep that goes unbilled. Firms using an integrated accounting practice management platform consistently report meaningful reductions in write-down rates within the first year.
Total recovery combines both figures to give you an all-in estimate of what’s recoverable. Actual results vary by firm size, billing model, and current systems — but the firms that make this shift typically report returns in year one well in excess of platform cost.
