Let’s Face It, Your Agency Runs on Guesses…

The truth is, you have a lot on your plate when it comes to running a profitable agency.

You might be struggling with…

Figuring out why you're not that profitable...
  • It’s unclear if the problem is utilization, over-servicing, or something else.
  • Your team says they’re busy while your accountant says you’re overstaffed.
  • Even when you are busy, cash & profit aren’t great.
  • You just want to know what’s wrong, and what to do about it.
Forecasting people and profits...
  • You can’t easily predict who and when you’ll need to hire.
  • You’re struggling to predict project or client profitability.
  • Keeping your team busy enough, or avoiding overworking them is a challenge.
  • You just want to be able to plan ahead, but it feels harder than it should.
Trying to track the right stuff...
  • You’re unsure what metrics to be tracking.
  • You’re not clear on what benchmarks to aim for.
  • You’re not sure if you’re calculating metrics in the right way.
  • You’re having trouble getting the right data together from all your different tools.
  • You just want reports and data to answer your most important questions.
Cleaning up your tools & data...
  • You’re not sure why your time-tracking and project management tools are set up the way they are.
  • Reporting takes a lot of manual work & data cleanup.
  • All your tools and data feel disconnected, the same things are named or structured differently across tools.
  • You just want to know what tools to use and how to set them up to get the insights you need without a bunch of manual work.
Constantly having to fight against change....
  • Changes to your agency’s tools, process, pricing, people and services break your reporting systems.
  • You’re tired of changing tools and processes only to end up back where you started.
  • The team can never quite seem to follow the process or keep their inputs clean.
  • There are always little errors in the data that prevent you from truly automating reporting.
  • You just want to set up a process that’s actually going to work long-term and be scalable.
