A fractional CFO
for agencies.
Profitability, cash flow, and tax — handled between every retainer.
Agency revenue is lumpy, margins hide behind contractor costs, and a bookkeeper just records the past. Figures gives your agency a dedicated CFO, monthly books, project profitability, and real-time tax planning — for a flat $999/month.

More than a bookkeeper.
A fraction of a full-time CFO.
A bookkeeper records the past. A full-time CFO costs a six-figure salary. Figures gives you the strategy, the books, and the tax planning — for a flat monthly fee.
