The picture

Billable hours, lost to admin.

In agencies and professional services, time is the product, and admin is the leak. Onboarding a new client, chasing timesheets, building reports and keeping projects moving quietly eats the hours you should be billing.

We automate the operational layer: onboarding that runs itself the moment a contract is signed, meeting notes that become tasks, timesheets that chase themselves, and client reports that build and send on schedule.

The result is senior people back on client work, and a business that scales without hiring an ops team to hold it together.

Common questions

What agencies ask us.

We use ClickUp / Asana / Notion. Will it fit?

Yes. We build on the project tools you already use, and connect them to your CRM, finance and comms.

Is client data safe?

We work to UK GDPR, sign DPAs, and keep data in UK/EU regions by default.

Can it handle our custom processes?

That is the point. Every build starts by mapping how your team actually works.

What do we build first?

Usually onboarding or reporting: high-frequency, high-annoyance, fast payback.

Run an agency or professional services business?

Book a 30-minute strategy call. We will map where the time and money are leaking, and tell you the first thing we would automate. No deck, no pitch.
