You're billing $80K a month and you still don't know which client is profitable.
Saturn BPO runs the books, AP, AR, payroll, and tax filing for digital agencies. We recognize retainer revenue the right way, pull pass-through media out of your margin so it's honest, and keep 1099s handled all year instead of every January.
Built for agency rhythms · Per-client P&L · Contractor 1099s on autopilot
Works with the tools you already run
Where agency books quietly bleed.
The same six problems show up at every digital agency we onboard. Sound familiar?
Retainer revenue is fiction
Booked when received, not earned. Your P&L lies about monthly revenue and runway.
Ad spend hides your margin
Pass-through Google, Meta, TikTok spend distorting gross margin. 50% looks like 5%.
1099s are a year-end fire
Contractors paid late, paid wrong, or filed incorrectly. Sometimes all three.
AR aging into bad debt
Client invoices past 60 days. No one's chasing. Eventually it stops being collectible.
Per-client P&L is unknown
You can't tell which logo is paying for three. Pricing is a guess.
Service-line margin is blank
No real reporting per service, per client, per quarter. So pricing stays a guess.

Before Saturn BPO
- Retainers and one-offs blended on the P&L

- Client AR aging because no one's tracking it
- You guess which clients are profitable
After Saturn BPO
- Monthly retainer revenue recognized properly
- Pass-throughs isolated so gross margin is clean
- Contractors paid on schedule. 1099-ready year-round
- AR aging report + reminder cadence we run for you
- Per-client P&L so you know who earns their seat
