Sumi for agencies
Accounting for marketing, creative and media agencies.
Retainers, project fees and media you buy for clients, kept apart so you always know your real margin.
Marketing, creative, PR, digital and media agencies.
Built for how agencies businesses work.
Fees versus pass-through media
Media and production you rebill are kept apart from your fees, so revenue isn't inflated.
Margin by client and project
Tag freelancers and production costs to projects to see what each client really earns you.
Retainers on repeat
Monthly retainers invoice themselves, and Sumi chases the late ones for you.
Freelancers and WHT
Pay freelancers and suppliers with withholding tax worked out and recorded.
Ready the moment you sign up.
Choose “Agencies” when you set up and Sumi creates all of this for you. Change any of it later.
