Parakeeto

Profit Assessment

Find out exactly where your agency is losing money.

Most agency owners suspect something is off. Revenue is there. The team is working. And still the profit doesn't land the way it should. The Profit Assessment gives you the answer. Not a theory. Not a list of generic recommendations. A model of your firm, a 12-month analysis of your performance, and a clear, prioritized plan to move the needle. You leave with the clarity to lead the business with confidence again.

Why financial reports alone don't fix the problem

Revenue growth hides weak margins.

A growing agency can have a shrinking margin. Revenue masks the problem until a slow month reveals it. Without understanding where money is made and lost at the delivery level, you're managing the outcome, not the driver.

What Parakeeto does: We identify your most significant profit leaks and build a model that connects your pricing, capacity, and overhead so you can see the whole picture.

Generic benchmarks don't apply to your business model.

The KPIs that work for a product company, a law firm, or even a slightly different kind of agency will tell you the wrong story. Tracking the wrong numbers with precision is not an advantage.

What Parakeeto does: We define the right metrics for your business model, benchmark your performance against agencies like yours, and tell you where you stand relative to your actual potential.

Delivery inefficiencies don't show up in the P&L.

Over-servicing, underpriced work, misaligned roles — these erode margin without appearing as obvious line items. They're operational problems, and they require operational insight to find.

What Parakeeto does: We analyze your delivery data alongside your financials to pinpoint where time is being spent relative to where margin is being made.

Overhead accumulates faster than it's noticed.

Growing agencies collect tools, contractors, and overhead before they build the reporting to know what's justified. By the time the problem is visible, it's already expensive.

What Parakeeto does: We identify where overhead is outpacing revenue growth and give you a clear view of what's earning its keep.

What the Assessment includes

1

Data collection

We gather your P&L, time tracking, rate cards, and project data. If data is incomplete or messy, we tell you what we can and can't work with and help fill the gaps.

2

KPI calculation and modelling

We calculate Delivery Margin, effective billable rates, utilization, and overhead ratios — and build a model of your firm that connects all of them.

3

Benchmarking

Your KPIs are compared against what your firm is capable of and against industry standards for agencies at your size and model.

4

Opportunity analysis

We identify where profit is lost, estimate the potential recovery from each change, and rank the opportunities by impact and effort.

5

Action plan

You leave with a prioritized roadmap: what to fix, in what order, with clear targets to aim for. Delivered in a 90-minute workshop, plus a deck and source data you keep.

I would highly recommend Parakeeto for any medium, small agency that's really trying to get a handle on better profitability.
