Understanding This Report

What This Report Shows You

The Daily Consultant Spend report displays each timesheet work day as a separate row, capturing the job, consultant, recruiter, sales rep, and a full breakdown of hours, bill rates, pay rates, expenses, burden, and cost of service for that day. This day-level granularity gives you a precise view of spend activity that weekly reports cannot provide, making it easier to spot billing anomalies and reconcile invoices.

Why Use This Report

This report helps you manage daily spend and answer critical operational questions:

  • What were the bill and pay amounts for a specific consultant on a given day?
  • How many straight, overtime, and doubletime hours were worked per day per placement?
  • What expenses were billed and paid for a specific job or company within a date range?
  • Which consultants or jobs had the highest daily spend during a period?
  • Are bill rates and pay rates consistent with expected placement rates?
  • What is the daily cost of service and burden breakdown across offices or regions?

Who Benefits From This Report

Different roles use this report to address specific operational needs:

Billing and Finance Teams: Reconcile daily invoice amounts against timesheet data, identify discrepancies at the day level, and support period-end close with accurate bill and pay totals.

Branch Managers: Monitor daily spend activity across their office, confirm that consultants are billing correctly, and identify unusual expense or rate entries before invoices go out.

Recruiters and Sales Reps: Review their own consultant activity by day, verify that placements are being recorded with the correct rates, and track spend against client expectations.

Operations Leaders: Analyze spend trends across divisions, regions, and companies at the daily level to support forecasting, margin analysis, and capacity planning.

Practical Applications

The Daily Consultant Spend report gives billing and operations teams the most granular view of spend activity available, making it essential for invoice reconciliation and anomaly detection. Finance teams can run this report filtered by company and date range to match each day’s billed amount against expected rates, catching discrepancies before invoices are finalized. Branch managers can filter by office and review a specific week to confirm that all consultants are billing at the correct straight, overtime, and doubletime rates. Sales reps can pull their own placements for a date range to verify that job-level expenses and discounts are recorded accurately. Operations leaders can use the day-level data to identify which jobs or consultants are driving the highest spend on a given day, supporting real-time cost management decisions.
