Agencies

Accounting that understands the agency business model.

Revenue looks great. The bank account disagrees. Somewhere between unbilled hours, a client who pays at ninety days, and a project that quietly went over scope, the margin vanished. We show you profitability client by client, utilization you can trust, and a cash forecast built around your clients’ real payment behavior.

The challenge

Agencies have unique financials. We built our practice around that.

Most accounting firms don’t understand agency economics: the mix of retainers and project work, the importance of utilization, or why cash flow can be so unpredictable even when revenue looks healthy.

We’ve worked with digital agencies, creative studios, dev shops, and consultancies of all sizes. We understand how to track profitability by client and project, manage the cash flow rollercoaster, and give you the financial visibility to make better decisions about pricing, hiring, and growth.

We scale our services to match your complexity, from a 5-person shop to a 100-person agency.
