It s not very complicated, but it s work. My small company has seven active clients, but even on this scale I have to work with five different billing cycles. Finally, one of them has a billing cycle of varying length. Most of the time it s four weeks, but occasionally, it s five weeks. It gives me a headache to figure out when someone should be billed.
Most agencies pay their consultants before they collect funds from the client.
It s almost always the case with W-2 contractors and very often and incorporated ones as well. You get your check two weeks after submitting your timesheet. Problem resolution You might stay on your projects for years and never have a conflict with a client. But not all consultants are like this. In some cases, a perfect specialist might have a personality conflict with someone in the client company.
