Contract Balances The following table provides information about receivables, contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers.
| September 30, 2024 |  | December 31, 2023
Accounts receivable, net of allowance of $46.0 and $46.4, respectively | $ | 4,718.8 |  |  | $ | 5,768.8 |
Accounts receivable, billable to clients | 2,211.9 |  |  | 2,229.2 |
Contract assets | 68.4 |  |  | 68.6 |
Contract liabilities (deferred revenue) | 574.2 |  |  | 684.7 |
Contract assets are primarily comprised of contract incentives that are generally satisfied annually under the terms of our contracts and are transferred to accounts receivable when the right to payment becomes unconditional. Contract liabilities relate to advance consideration received from customers under the terms of our contracts primarily related to reimbursements of third-party expenses, whether we act as principal or agent, and to a lesser extent, periodic retainer fees, both of which are generally recognized shortly after billing. The majority of our contracts are for periods of one year or less with the exception of our data management contracts. For those contracts with a term of more than one year, we had approximately $640.0 of unsatisfied performance obligations as of September 30, 2024, which will be recognized as services are performed over the remaining contractual terms through 2029.
