Chartered accountants who only work with agencies.
Retainers, project billing, media passthrough, scope creep, 60-day terms, that client who always pays late. We understand it all. So when you explain your situation, we don't need the backstory.
Why we only work with agencies.
Most accountants treat agencies the way they treat plumbers — same chart of accounts, same once-a-year filings. That's why retainer revenue gets booked wrong, project margins go unmeasured, and the founder finds out about the cash crunch in March.
We do the opposite. Year-end is the floor, not the ceiling. The work is in the months in between.
- Most accountants don't understand agency finances. We do.
- Year-end accounts filed in April don't help decisions in October.
- “How much can I afford to pay myself?” shouldn't require a week of emails.
- Someone should pick up the phone when you call. (We do.)
FTSE-level finance. Agency-sized.
Big companies get finance teams who challenge decisions, not just file paperwork. 15+ years, we were those people. FTSE 100 and 250. Boardrooms. Nine-figure budgets.
Most agencies get an accountant who turns up once a year.
We thought that was backwards. The businesses making real decisions (hiring, pricing, taking on debt) are the ones who need proper finance support. Not just compliance.
So that's what we do now.
Four things we care about.
Plain English
If you don't understand it, we haven't explained it properly. That's our problem to fix.
01Before, not after
Filing your tax return is the minimum. We'd rather help you make decisions before year-end, not explain what happened after.
02Actually available
We answer emails. We pick up the phone. No ticket systems, no “3-5 business days.”
03Agency-native
Retainers, utilisation, WIP, that client who pays 60 days late. We already know. You won't have to explain.
04Let's talk about your agency.
15 minutes. No sales pitch. Just answers to your questions. We work with UK agencies from £150k to £3m revenue.
