Bookkeeping for marketing & creative agencies

Agencies juggle retainers, projects, media buying, subscriptions, freelancers and clients in multiple countries. It's easy for pass-through costs to go un-recharged, for retainers to be over-serviced, and for the agency to be busy but not profitable.

We work with digital, marketing, social, design, video and branding agencies to give them clean books and clear reporting.

Marketing, digital, design and video agencies juggle retainers, project work, media spend, software subscriptions and freelancers – often for clients in several countries. Without a clear structure, agencies over-service retainers, forget to recharge pass-through costs and can't tell which clients are profitable.

Good agency bookkeeping separates media and pass-through costs from agency fees, tracks time against retainers and projects, and reports profit per client each month. How media spend is treated depends on whether the agency buys as a principal or as an agent, which affects revenue, GST and margins.

We connect your agency tools to Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks, manage freelancer payments and payroll, handle multi-currency invoicing and lodge your BAS and tax returns – giving you the numbers to price with confidence.
