Accounting Software for Marketing Agencies

As Finance Leader of a Marketing Agency, you’ll understand that moving your business over to a new accounting system is a big and daunting task.

With the investment and time involved, it’s unlikely that you’ll make the change more than once or twice during your career.

So, whether you’re considering a move now or in the future, it’s important that you choose a vendor with a solid track record of supporting agencies like yours with the right solution to deliver the outcomes you need.

You’ll also need to find a partner that can support your business and become a valued extension of your team in the long-term.

6.We help marketing agencies grow profitably

Over 100 marketing agencies have now turned to Intacct to manage their growth and are already seeing incredible results.

One example is Goodway Group, a leading independent digital media planner based in New York and operating around the world.

Goodway Group’s digital advertising advisory team were in the early stages of growth and struggling with expense processing, invoicing, and reporting.

They were using QuickBooks and Excel spreadsheets, and barely getting by. They knew that if they wanted to grow, they needed to make a big change.

The team wanted a cloud-based solution that would meet the needs of their virtual team, provide core job-costing capabilities, and automation for sustainable growth. Integrations were key, as was full visibility into financial data.

Since making the move to Intacct, the team now has full insight across operational dimensions, and has automated the previously cumbersome processes of job costing and billing, freeing 10 hours per week for the finance team.

Overall, they have been able to scale the business without constraints of back-office bottlenecks. An incredible result!
