Accounting & BookkeepingTime Tracking3MediumAccountant$ implied

Accounting professionals must remain physically present in the office during non-billable downtime, unable to use that time for personal activities despite it not being compensated as work time.

Current time tracking systems only measure billable hours, creating pressure to appear busy during downtime and failing to account for non-billable office presence requirements.
