What changes with Around
Run the agency. Stop carrying the finance.
Your team is busy. Clients need you. But finance admin, unanswered questions and uncertainty about cash keep pulling you away from the work you want to do.
Before Around
The finance work keeps coming back to you.
With Around
A finance team around you, with Rone owning the relationship.
- Clear ownership of the accounting work
- Current numbers you can understand
- Cash commitments and deadlines in view
- Regular conversations about what comes next
Less chasing. More clarity. More headspace for your clients, your team and the agency you want to build.
Every client has a named manager and a quarterly review. Deeper reporting, forecasting and senior support are agreed around your agency’s needs.

One connected finance team
Accounting built around how an agency earns.
Start with dependable monthly accounts. Add the reporting and senior input your agency needs as the work, team and decisions become more complex.
Keep the essentials current.

We agree the reporting you need and the systems required to produce it.
Plan the next commitment.
Add forecasting and senior financial input when you need to assess a hire, expansion or a larger commercial decision.
We agree this support in advance, with a clear scope and fee.
The people behind your numbers

From the accounts to a decision
What your agency review can show.
Useful reporting connects the work you sell, the cost of delivering it and the cash available for what comes next.
These are examples of reporting topics. The detail depends on your agreed scope and the quality of your project, time and financial records.
Retainers and project margin
View agency fees separately from pass-through spend, then compare the cost of delivering the work.
The decision: does the next proposal or renewal need a change in price or scope?
People costs and capacity
Bring payroll, freelancer costs and reliable time data together to understand the work the team can support.
The decision: use existing capacity, add freelance support or model a permanent hire?
Cash and commitments
Review outstanding invoices alongside payroll, tax and supplier commitments. Add a cash-flow forecast where it is part of your scope.
The decision: what needs collecting or planning before you commit to more cost?
MORE AGENCY CLIENT PROOF
Accounting that supports the agency, not just the filing.
