Parakeeto

You built a great agency. Let us take care of the money.

Run your agency with clarity, calm, and confidence.

Running your agency shouldn't be guesswork.

Parakeeto specializes in agencies, so you can take back control, know where the money is going, and understand what to do next.

The problem with getting financial advice as an agency owner

You've probably tried everything that's supposed to work. A bookkeeper for the books. A fractional CFO for the numbers. An ops consultant for delivery. All-in-one platforms. And you ended up in the same place: decent revenue, confusing margins, no clear answer why.

The issue isn't the people or the tools. None of them connect the data that's critical to how agencies work.

That's the problem Parakeeto was built to solve.

If you're running a creative or digital agency, this will sound familiar.

You're busy. But the money doesn't show it.

Revenue looks fine. The team is fully booked. And somehow cash is tight and margins are soft. You know something's wrong. Your P&L just doesn't tell you what.

Instead of constantly looking in the rearview, you need someone to help you see the road ahead, tell you exactly where the profit is going, and show you what to do next.

You've tried the usual options. They haven't worked.

Your accountant is good at tax. Your fractional CFO understands financials. Neither knows what healthy utilization looks like at your size, why a client that feels profitable is killing your margin, or how to bridge the P&L and what's happening in delivery.

You don't have a data problem. You have a clarity problem.

You need agency-specific financial leadership, not general advice applied to your situation.

You want to grow. You just don't want to grow into a bigger version of the same problem.

New clients, a bigger team, and increased revenue do not always mean more profit.

Growth without financial clarity is expensive. You need a blueprint for consistent profitability that grows with the agency.

Stewards of your agency's finances.

You don't just hire a consultant. You hand off a piece of your business to a team that treats it like their own. We flag what needs attention before it shows up in the P&L. We hold the financial picture so you can hold everything else.

We're not here to observe and report. We're here to take care of the money so you can take care of the agency.

The Parakeeto difference

  • Built exclusively for agencies, not adapted for them
  • Financial leadership with operational depth
  • Works with your existing tools and processes
  • No need to change how you run the business
  • A model of your firm, not a generic benchmark

Schedule a free consultation. We'll look at your situation, tell you whether we're the right fit, and give you a clear picture of where the work would start.

Common Questions

Other things you might be wondering:

How are you different from a fractional CFO?

Most fractional CFOs are generalists who stay in the finance lane. They can tell you you're not profitable, not what to do about it. But profitability isn't a finance problem; it's an operations problem. That's the gap Parakeeto fills.

Do I need to change my tools or processes to work with you?

No. We work with whatever you have. Messy data, missing time tracking, inconsistent project management is the normal starting point. Nothing needs fixing before we begin.

What kind of data do I need?

A year of financial data is enough to start. Even just a tax return. Clean time tracking, project profitability reports, and a polished chart of accounts help, but aren't required.

Will you replace my accountant or bookkeeper?

We don't have to. Our engagement works alongside your existing financial team. If you'd rather we take over the books, bookkeeping and accounting are available as an add-on.

What if the Assessment doesn't find anything actionable?

If we can't identify a realistic path to generating at least 10x the Assessment fee in improved profit over time, you don't pay. That has happened once in seven years.

The question isn't whether this works for your agency. It's whether you're ready to act on what we find.
