Unique Challenges for Marketers and Designers

  • Billable Expenses: Tracking and accurately billing expenses directly to clients is crucial. Whether it's travel, software subscriptions, or outsourced services, each cost needs to be meticulously recorded and assigned to the correct project to ensure transparency and profitability reporting.
  • Project Budgeting: Setting and adhering to budgets is fundamental for marketing and design projects. Our services ensure that all financial aspects of your projects are closely monitored, from initial estimates to final expenditures, helping prevent budget overruns and maintaining profit margins.
  • Estimates and Progress Invoicing: Providing clients with accurate estimates and timely progress invoicing is key to managing cash flow and client expectations. Our system supports detailed estimates and updates, keeping pace with the progress of projects to facilitate regular invoicing and revenue recognition.

Important Metrics to Report and View

  • Contractor Costs: Keeping a close eye on what you pay contractors is vital for budgeting and project cost management. We provide detailed tracking and reporting of all contractor expenses.
  • Tech Stack Cost: Technology investments can represent a significant portion of operational costs in the digital marketing and design field. We help you monitor these expenses to optimize spending and ensure they align with your business goals.
  • Labor Costs: From in-house designers to freelance marketers, understanding your total labor costs in relation to revenue is crucial. We offer comprehensive payroll services and labor cost analysis to help manage your team effectively.
  • Cash Flow Analysis and Projections: Cash flow management can make or break a creative agency. Our services include rigorous cash flow analysis and future projections that consider seasonal trends and economic realities.
