Brand Strategy is earning a 71% margin, while Production and Delivery are both at 34%. That gap widened this quarter as contractor costs climbed $12K, so some of the busiest work may not be paying enough. Let's run the Visory Project and Customer Profitability review to see exactly which work is making money, which is not, and which levers we can explore.

What you actually get

Insight

Your agency's numbers, explained.

Every month or quarter, you receive an Insights report that goes beyond charts and tables. It explains what happened in your agency, why it happened, and what you should pay attention to next. Revenue by client, project margins, cash position, team utilization - translated into plain English by your Business Performance Partner. No accounting jargon. No guesswork.

Q1 2026 Performance Summary

Revenue $1.2M
Gross Margin 62%
Debtor Days 34d

BPP Summary: Revenue grew 8% this quarter driven by new retainer clients. Top three clients represent 41% of revenue - monitor for concentration risk. Debtor days improved by 6 days compared to Q4.

Partnership

A partner who explains what matters - and why.

Each reporting cycle, you sit down with your dedicated Business Performance Partner for a structured strategy session. Together, you review what your agency's data is telling you, identify where to lean in or pull back, and agree on clear next actions. Think of it as CFO-level clarity without the CFO-level overhead - tailored to the way creative agencies actually operate.

Action

Insight that leads to execution.

Every session ends with a clear action plan tied to your agency's goals, plus the targeted programs to execute it. Reprice underperforming retainers. Map exactly where a service line is leaking margin. Model your next hire before you make it. Each program is a structured play your Business Performance Partner runs with you, tracked in the Visory platform so nothing falls through the cracks. Over time, you build a record of decisions made, results achieved, and confidence gained.
