What agency founders actually need:

1

Know which projects and clients make money

Not just revenue. Real margin — after scope creep, after discounts, after the extra rounds nobody tracked.

2

Make decisions with numbers, not gut feel

Hire, invest, price, say no — and know the numbers support it.

3

Stop being the only one watching the cash

A system that catches problems in days, not a founder who catches them at 2am.

It all starts with one thing: a financial control system that works without you holding it together.

That’s what we build. With you.

Sound familiar?
Your Account Director agreed to two extra revision rounds — nobody checked the margin
You won a big pitch, but three months in, you’re not sure it’s profitable
Cash was comfortable in January. By March, you’re chasing three invoices to cover contractor costs
You suspect some clients cost more than they earn — but you can’t prove which ones

You're not bad at business.


You just don’t have a financial control system yet. And without one, scope creep, stale pricing,
and slow invoicing quietly compound — month after month.

What we do

That gap between revenue and real profit?
We close it.

We help you:

  • Know which clients and projects actually make money — not just top-line
  • See where cash will be in 13 weeks, not just where it is today
  • Catch scope creep, billing gaps, and discount drift before they compound
  • Review pricing on new deals before you sign — so margin is built in from day one

"And most importantly: make decisions you’re confident in — not ones you hope will work out."

Process

How it works

1

We diagnose.

We learn how your agency works — your team structure, how you win and deliver projects, where things typically go sideways. Within 10 working days, you see exactly where you make and lose money — and what to fix first.

2

We build control and run it with you.

A weekly rhythm that keeps cash, profitability, and billing visible. We work directly with your PMs and account leads — not just you. Problems get caught in days, not months.

Why EpicRose

You shouldn't have to be the finance person to feel in control.

We help agency founders run the business with clarity, calm, and confident decisions.

01

We work with your team, not just you

We build working relationships with your PMs, account leads, and delivery people — so financial control isn’t bottlenecked through the founder. We’ll challenge a deal that doesn’t stack up and push back on scope creep, so you don’t have to be the only one protecting margin.

02

Clarity that cuts stress fast

Within weeks, you go from ‘I think we’re fine’ to ‘I know what’s happening and what to do next.’ That shift changes how you sleep, how you make decisions, and how you run the business.

03

We speak agency, not generic finance

Client profitability. Scope drift. WIP. Invoicing pace. Rate erosion. Pricing that quietly went stale. We focus on what actually drives agency profit — because that’s all we do.

04

Simple numbers your whole team can act on

No dashboards for the sake of dashboards. Just the few metrics that make the business predictable — in plain language, not finance jargon. Your PMs and account leads can read them and act without you translating.

05

A system, not a single hire

Instead of relying on one person to hold it all together, you get a repeatable system — weekly rhythm, clear rules, defined escalations — that keeps working whether you’re in the room or not.

06

Built for real founder life

Low lift from your side. Clear next steps. A structure your team can follow. Designed for people who run agencies, not people who want another thing to manage.

Two steps to financial control

First, see what’s really happening. Then, keep it that way

Stage 02 — Control

Ongoing Financial Control

From £2,500/month • One-time onboarding fee from £3,000

A weekly rhythm that keeps your agency profitable, predictable, and cash-safe. The first 8 weeks: full setup of data, time tracking, dashboards, invoicing rules, and scope/change-order framework.

  • Weekly commercial review (30 min) — cash, projects, alerts
  • Pricing review on new proposals — we check rates, scope, and margin before you send
  • Monthly P&L and margin trend analysis
  • 13-week rolling cash forecast, updated continuously
  • AR discipline and escalation — we chase so you don’t have to
  • Scope and change-order framework — clear rules for what’s included, what’s extra, and how changes get priced and approved
  • Rate card monitoring — effective rates by client, discount creep flagged early
  • Ad-hoc decision support — hire vs. outsource, new service lines, pricing changes, pitch go/no-go, channel ROI. Up to 3 hours/month included, plus Slack for quick questions between syncs.

6-month minimum engagement. Month-to-month after that.

About founder

I'm Dmytro.

20 years in finance and operations. I specialise in agencies because the patterns repeat: same leaks, same fixes, same results.

Generalist consultants figure it out as they go. I’ve built a system — repeatable, fast, and focused on one thing: making agencies financially predictable.

Your accountant shows what happened. I build the system that controls what happens next — and I’ll tell you when a deal doesn’t make financial sense, before you sign it.

Let’s talk about getting your agency running the way it should.

Simple first step

If you’re making decisions without clear numbers
— or just want to know where your agency really stands — let’s start with a short conversation.

We work best with agencies that are ready to act on what the numbers show.

Micro-FAQ

Do you work with my accountant/bookkeeper?

Yes. We own your financial control layer — profitability, cash, pricing, commercial discipline. For bookkeeping, payroll, tax and compliance, we either work with your existing providers or help you find the right ones — and make sure the data flows properly between everything.

How is this different from a fractional CFO?

A fractional CFO gives you strategic advice a few days a month. We give you an operating system — the weekly rhythm, the pricing reviews, the cash forecasting, the AR chasing, the scope discipline. Most agencies need the system running before they need the strategy on top.

Is this heavy on my time?

No. 30 minutes a week for the commercial review. We handle the rest — including working directly with your team.

Will you share my numbers?

Never. Everything is confidential.

What does it cost?

The Profit Diagnostic starts at £3,000. Ongoing Financial Control starts at £2,500 per month with a one-time onboarding fee. If you move from diagnostic to ongoing control within 30 days, the diagnostic fee is fully credited.

What if I only want the diagnostic?

That’s completely fine. The diagnostic is designed to be valuable on its own. You’ll walk away with a clear picture of where you stand and a prioritised plan of what to fix first.
