Creative, media, recruitment and consulting agencies bill people and projects, not products. We track project profitability, pass-through costs and retainers so you know which clients are worth keeping.
Agencies leak profit through scope creep and pass-through costs that never get recharged. We tag time-based revenue and third-party costs to clients and projects, so the monthly report shows each account with its true margin. Retainers get recognised over their period, and withholding tax on overseas freelancers is handled before it becomes a penalty.

Certain payments to non-residents attract withholding tax. We identify which of yours do and file the S45 forms on time.
As recoverable disbursements rather than revenue and cost, unless your contracts make you principal. We check the terms and book it correctly for both margin and GST.
Fixed monthly, scoped to volume and reporting depth, agreed in advance.
We will make the margin per account visible within a month.
