About Us
We Exist to Solve One
Problem:
Agency
Profitability
We’re not an accounting firm. We’re not a software company.
We’re a technology-leveraged service firm, specialized in helping agencies measure and improve their performance.
Who We Work With:
We work exclusively with digital & creative agencies.
They find us after they’ve figured out how to get clients, but are still struggling to consistently achieve 25%+ net profit annually.
Here Are a Few of those
Great Agencies
“Parakeeto’s advice helped us make important changes to the way we run our agency. When it comes to operations & profitability,
they’re true experts.”
Leanne Hall – CEO @ Creative Fire
“It’s a (sometimes uncomfortable, but needed) deep dive into process and profitability in a growing agency. I think an agency that has been running the same way for years, that can’t figure out how to make it to the next level, would benefit from this process. It’s company changing for sure in a good way.”
Larry Tozier – CEO @ Voltage

A few people who have recognized us as experts
Why Are We Doing This?
Because we’ve had this problem ourselves and are uniquely qualified to actually solve it.
Every one of our founders, investors and advisors have run their own firm at some point in their career. We’ve all seen just how broken agency data and reporting is. We started as a software company and eventually realized software was part of the problem.
We finally decided to put our egos aside and asked ourselves what the best solution in the world would look like. That led us to bringing our software in-house, and pairing it with a holistic consulting process to deeply and completely solve this problem.
Our mission is to build the best information, tools and services on the planet and empower every agency to measure and improve their performance.
We’ve spent over 4 years laser focussed on this mission, and plan to spend many more.
We love to share what we know.
