Project-based income tracked properly
Project fees reconciled against the work delivered, so you can see which projects are genuinely profitable.
Creative & Digital Agencies
Accounting for creative & digital agencies.
Agency income rarely lands in a simple, predictable pattern. Project fees, monthly retainers and a rotating cast of freelancers and subcontractors all sit in the same set of books, and it's easy to lose track of what's actually profitable once everyone's been paid. Buzz works with creative and digital agencies who want an accountant that understands how agency finances actually work.
Retainers and projects need different visibility
A retainer client and a one-off project client behave completely differently in your numbers — one is predictable recurring income, the other is a lump that needs to be tracked against the work delivered. Mixing the two together without proper reporting makes it hard to know which parts of the agency are actually the profitable ones.
What agencies need from an accountant
Support built around how creative businesses actually bill
Retainer clients kept separate
Recurring retainer income reported distinctly from project work, giving you a clearer read on predictable cashflow.
Freelancer and subcontractor payments
Bookkeeping that handles paying freelancers and subcontractors cleanly, without muddying your own numbers.
Real profitability reporting
Management reporting that shows what's actually making money once staff time, freelancers and overheads are accounted for.
A dedicated accountant
Someone who understands agency economics and can talk about your business, not just your tax return.
One fixed monthly fee
No hidden extras and no surprise bills, whatever mix of projects and retainers you're running that month.
What our clients say
Trusted by agency owners who want a proper finance partner
"I'd had the same accountant for six years and never once had a proactive conversation about my business. Within three months of switching to Buzz, I had a proper cashflow forecast, a clearer tax plan and someone who actually challenged my thinking. It's a completely different experience."
Jamie R. Director, Digital Marketing Agency
