In the service industry, hourly billing is the most popular billing technique. It entails the dynamic creation of project billing records, including time, expenses, retainer balances, amounts owing and paid, and other data. For the given date period, only permitted time and expenses (work-in-progress) are included. The invoice amount for hourly bills is the sum of the Bill Amount and Charge Amount for the billed time and costs after any billing process changes. Recovery of expenses with a profit margin for any work performed is ensured if the specified hourly rate accurately represents the practice's costs.
