Accquip

What risks would you to take to ensure your agency survives? 🤔

If you could predict the exact date your business would run out of cash, would you be willing to take those risks?

Too many digital agencies play it safe and unwittingly contribute to their business’ stagnating decline 😖

The culprit?

👉A lack of financial clarity and foresight👈

💸What are your gross margins vs what should they be?
💸How many days until you go bankrupt?
💸Which projects were wildly profitable and which ones tanked?
💸What is the #1 priority in your business right now?
💸When should you hire your next employee?
💸How much should you budget for sales & marketing?

☝️These are questions that give you clarity to keep you from stagnating.

They are also the types of questions we answer with you on a weekly and monthly basis.

If you're sick of the complete lack of responsiveness from your current accountant, it’s time to switch.

We work with software dev agencies, design agencies, marketing agencies, and other digital agencies who have reached $500k+ in annual revenues. 

Bootstrapping requires a responsive finance partner with experience in this space, as your cashflow situation is likely to change on a weekly basis.

Working with Accquip, you'll know the exact date your business will run out of cash 📅

We'll work together weekly to strategize the actions you need to take to ensure you stay properly capitalized and running for the foreseeable future.

We'll also work on retrospectively analyzing project profitability so you know which clients and projects to pursue in the future (and which to avoid at all costs).

We're a full-service shop, so we take care of the BORING but important financial aspects in your software business:

👉Payroll & payroll tax compliance
👉Accounting & bookkeeping
👉Client billings
👉Budgeting

Digital agencies are brutal 😩




What other business deals with as many feast & famine cycles?

🙅‍♂️None🙅‍♂️

It is an easy model to start…
…but requires balls of steel to endure.


Here are THREE questions to ponder:

1️⃣ Does my accountant know how to keep me in the game?

2️⃣ Are they giving me the advice I need to grow without dying of revenue indigestion?

3️⃣ Have they helped me plan my exit?



Be real with yourself.

If you answered “no” to all three…
you’re playing with fire. 🔥 

Agency work is tough as it is.

Get the right advisor in your corner.


There is a light at the end of this tunnel.

It’s up to you whether it’s
blue sunny skies ☀️ 
or a train 🚂

RunROI

We think we need to be good at running to run.

We think it’s not for us because we can’t run a mile or run fast or run a long time. 

What if running has nothing to do with those things? What if I could show you that running IS for you, no matter what?

What if running is more an exercise in showing up for yourself and building trust that you can do something unexpected, something outside of your comfort zone.

The Pregnancy Pause

I’ll tell you a little story:



When I was in 2nd grade, I wrote a short story for a writing contest, the “Young Author’s Award”. My story was called, The Eagle That Came For Jenny. I also illustrated it, but that’s not what this story is about.

I won the award. 

Some dipshit from the judging group told my mom they almost didn’t give me the award because they couldn’t believe a second grader had written the dang thing.

Cause it was good as hell.

But I did write it. And I kept writing. Unfortunately a lot of it was sad poetry, but I also wrote my way through a college English degree, nonprofit jobs, and into entrepreneurship.

And now, I get to write for founders, write for creative agencies, and run a whole bunch of f-ing miles. All by choice!

I am an ultrarunner who is training for a 100k and I believe running can change your business. I’m not f-ing around either, I’m so so serious. It gives you everything you need to be better at work, life, and yourself. I’m happy to call you and list all the reasons but even happier if you just let me coach you so you can find out for yourself. 

And I’m no judge, but my story about the eagle taking a little girl to be raised with the eagles? It’s a story for the ages and maybe even a little bit true. 🦅
