FORT LAUDERDALE CREATIVE AGENCY CPA
If you own a creative agency in Fort Lauderdale and feel busy, profitable, but financially unclear, you’ve likely outgrown basic bookkeeping and year-end tax prep.
Westfront Tax & Accounting works best with creative agencies earning $500K–$5M that want proactive tax planning, accurate financials, and real insight into what’s driving margins, utilization, and cash flow.
Creative agency accounting is fundamentally different from standard small business bookkeeping.
Retainers, project-based work, scope creep, utilization, and payroll-heavy cost structures create financial complexity that generic bookkeeping systems simply aren’t built to handle.
True agency accounting aligns revenue, labor, and expenses with when work is performed. Not just when cash moves so owners can see real profitability and make confident growth decisions.
Know when to hire, subcontract, or slow growth based on real capacity, no gut instinct.
See which revenue streams scale profitably and which quietly drain margins.
Structure owner compensation, entities, and retirement strategies intelligently.
Understand which clients, services, and delivery models actually drive profit.

Many agency owners assume financial stress is just part of running a creative business. In reality, it’s usually the result of outgrowing tax-only accounting.
As agencies grow, add team members, and juggle retainers and projects, complexity increases faster than visibility unless the accounting system is built for creative businesses.
Revenue looks strong, but cash feels inconsistent.
Payroll grows on gut instinct, not objective numbers.
Retainers hide low-margin clients.
Tax bills appear after decisions are already made.
As creative agencies grow, compliance alone is no longer enough.
Real creative agency accounting is about having the right information at the right time. This is the foundation behind our monthly accounting and advisory services.

How is creative agency accounting different from general bookkeeping?
Creative agency accounting goes beyond tracking money in and out of the bank.
Agencies rely on retainers, project-based work, and payroll-heavy teams, which creates a disconnect between cash flow and true profitability. General bookkeeping often misses utilization, margin by service, and timing differences between work performed and cash collected.
Creative agency accounting aligns revenue, labor, and expenses with when work is delivered so owners can clearly see profitability and make informed decisions.
Do you help with retainers and project-based revenue?
Yes. This is one of the most important parts of creative agency accounting.
We structure your accounting system to properly track retainers, projects, scope changes, and labor costs. This provides clear visibility into margins, capacity, and which clients or services are actually profitable.
What size are the creative agencies you work with?
We work best with creative agencies earning between $500K and $5M in annual revenue.
My books are behind. Can you still help?
Yes, and this is common. As part of your foundation catch-up phase, we bring you up to date with your accounting, bookkeeping, and taxes before transitioning to an ongoing relationship.
Usually, this phase takes between 2-6 weeks depending on complexity.
Are you located in Fort Lauderdale?
Yes, we are based in Fort Lauderdale. We serve agencies locally and nationwide remotely.
