Your agency is profitable.
Your bank account disagrees.

Retainers land late. Contractors get paid on time. Somehow there is nothing left in the middle.

Who this is for

You know the feeling.

You are paying eleven contractors through Zelle and quietly dreading January.
The retainer cleared on Monday. You still could not make payroll on Friday.
You could not say which client actually makes you money, only which one shouts loudest.
You took on more work this year and kept less of it.
Your accountant asked you what a retainer is.
The difference

Same clients. Different business.

The difference

Most accountants have never run an agency.

01

Project profitability

Revenue tells you nothing. We show you which client is worth keeping and which one is quietly costing you.

02

The cash gap

Clients pay in thirty days. Your team gets paid in seven. Someone has to model that gap, and it should not be you at midnight.

03

Contractors, tracked properly

Every payment tagged to a person, all year. January takes a day instead of a month, and nobody is chasing a shoebox of Zelle receipts.

04

Your own pay

Most agency owners pay themselves the wrong way and hand the difference to the IRS. We fix the structure so more of it stays yours.

Proof

You get to see all of it.

Your numbers, updated from your closed books, benchmarked against agencies your size. Not a spreadsheet someone emails you in March.

Questions

Before you ask.

Can you tell me which clients are actually profitable?

That is most of the point. We allocate contractor time, software and overhead against each client, so you see contribution margin per account rather than a single revenue number that flatters everyone equally.

We pay contractors all over the world. Does that work?

Yes. We track every payment against a person all year, handle classification, and have the 1099s ready in January instead of reconstructed from memory. International contractors have their own rules and we apply them.

We bill retainers and projects mixed together. Is that a problem?

No, but it is usually where the numbers go wrong. Retainer cash arriving is not revenue earned, and project work distorts a month if it is booked when invoiced. We recognise both properly so your margin stops lying to you.

How is this different from a normal bookkeeper?

A bookkeeper records what happened. We show profit per client, model the gap between clients paying you and you paying your team, and run a tax strategy during the year rather than reporting on it afterwards.

Do I need to switch accounting software?

Usually not. We work in Xero and QuickBooks and will use whichever you already have. If we do recommend moving, we handle the migration.
