Specialized Accountants for UK Advertising Agencies

Scaling an advertising agency is difficult when you do not have control over your finances. At MyClearTax, we provide expert accounting for ad agencies to help you manage cash flow, stay compliant, and increase your profit margins. We handle the numbers so you can focus on winning your next big pitch.

Why Most Advertising Agencies Struggle With Profitability

Many agency owners are “Busy but Broke.” You see high revenue, but your bank account stays empty. As expert advertising accountants, we identify the hidden “profit killers” in your business:

  • Scope Creep: We help you track when client requests go beyond the contract, saving your margins.

  • Inaccurate Project Costing: We show you which clients make you money and which ones cost you money.

  • Ad-Spend Confusion: We stop you from mixing client media budgets with your own agency’s operating cash.

  • IR35 Risks: We protect you from HMRC fines by reviewing your freelancer and contractor agreements.
