Match with UK accountants who model retainer income, project margins and freelancer payroll properly. Plus the operations stack — margin reporting, freelancer payroll, growth funding.

Year-end accounts, VAT, payroll, retainer accounting, project margin tracking, R&D credit for in-house tools.
Common stack: Typical fees £22-£400/mo.
Productive, Scoro, Float, Harvest paired with Xero. Real per-client margin reporting that generalists rarely set up.
Common stack: Productive · Scoro · Float · Harvest · Xero.
Mixed PAYE + freelancer setups. IR35 status for freelancers, contractor payroll, hiring the first employee.
Common stack: Specialist agency payroll bureaus.
Invoice finance, revenue-based finance, working-capital lines. Agencies often have lumpy cash flow — these unlock growth.

Specialist UK accountants for marketing and digital agencies start from £22/month for solo agency founders. Established agencies (5-15 staff, £500k-£2M revenue) typically pay £150-£400/month with project margin reporting included. Larger agencies pay £400-£1,000+/month with deeper FP&A support. The accountants on the GoAgencies bench all set up per-client margin tracking — most generalist firms don't.
A normal accountant files compliance. We run finance + operations as a managed service. We're closer to a fractional COO + Financial Controller than to an accountant, though we handle the compliance too.
Yes - we set up clean freelancer onboarding (IR35 status determination, contracts, KYC), payroll/payments, and ongoing compliance. Most agencies have IR35 risk hiding in their freelancer relationships and don't know it.
For multi-agency groups, we sometimes operate as the embedded shared-services team. Arrangement depends on size and structure - get in touch.
