What to Look for in an Accountant for a Marketing Agency
Creative agencies are complex businesses. Between tracking revenue by campaign, forecasting cash flow, and staying compliant with payroll and tax obligations, it's easy for financial clarity to fall through the cracks. That’s why accountants who specialize in advertising or marketing agencies are so valuable.
The right accountant can help you manage client budgets, streamline invoicing and accounts receivable, allocate costs across departments or campaigns, and make sense of profitability at the project level. For marketing agencies, they may also help calculate return on ad spend (ROAS), track expenses across multiple platforms, and ensure media buying costs are reconciled accurately.
Whether you're running a boutique digital agency or a large creative firm, working with someone who speaks the language of retainers, commissions, and deferred revenue can make or break your margins.
