Legal Management Systems: What is Profitability Accounting?

Rippe & Kingston, LLC defines Profitability Accounting as an allocation process that measures the gross and net contribution to the Firm’s profits of a given revenue stream.

It is an Accounting analysis, which calculates a series of direct and indirect rates per timekeeper per hour allocated to a defined revenue stream to measure gross and net contribution to Firm profits.

A Systematic Approach for Measuring the Profitability of the Firm…

• Identify Revenue
• Identify Direct Costs
• Identify Indirect/Overhead Costs
• Apply Direct and Indirect Cost to Revenue
• Reporting Summary or Detail at Multiple Levels, including Office, Department, Practice Group, Area of Law, Timekeeper, Client, and Matter
• Real Time...Results through Yesterday’s Cash Receipts
