Bookkeeping for Service Businesses, From Creative Agencies to Consulting Firms.
We run books for service businesses in the US, creative agencies, consultants, studios, and similar companies, project-based and retainer billing, contractor payments, and margins that actually reflect how the work gets priced.
Talk to Us →Built for Project and Retainer Billing, Not a Generic Invoice Template.
Service businesses don't bill like most companies, work is priced by project, by retainer, sometimes both in the same month, and contractor payments often make up a large share of costs. That's as true for a marketing agency as it is for a consulting firm or a design studio. Generic bookkeeping tends to flatten all of that into one invoice category and lose the margin picture. We track project and retainer revenue separately from contractor and vendor costs, so you can actually see which engagements are profitable, whatever kind of service business you run.
Project & Retainer Revenue
Tracked separately by engagement type, so margins are visible project by project, not blended into one number.
Contractor & Freelancer Payments
Payment tracking with 1099 prep support. We track and report the numbers; filing itself stays with your own CPA or tax preparer.
Irregular Project Timing
Monthly close that keeps up with real project timing instead of forcing it into a flat monthly average.
10-Day Monthly Close
Clean, closed books on a schedule you can plan around, the same close target we hold across every client.
Reviewed Before It's Yours
Working papers and reporting delivered on your timeline, reviewed by senior staff before they reach you.
Project & Client-Wise Reporting
Every project or client engagement broken out in your reporting, not folded into one blended total.
