ACCOUNTANTS FOR
DIGITAL AGENCIES,
CREATIVE STUDIOS
& THE FREELANCERS
WHO POWER THEM.
Xero & FreeAgent partner
Not your father’s accountant.
Running a digital or creative business is hard enough, so accounting shouldn't make it harder.
You're losing hours to admin
Chasing receipts, reconciling Xero, filing VAT returns. We take it all off your plate so you can get back to billable work and finding that next client.
You're paying too much tax
Most freelancers and agency owners are leaving money on the table. Director salary splits, tax credits, missed VAT claims and pension planning – we find it.
You never really know the numbers
Is the business actually profitable? What tax is due and when? You shouldn’t have to guess. We give you profit, tax and cash clarity every single month.
Your accountant doesn't get it
They don’t know B2B from B2C. They’ve never heard of IR35. Every call starts with you explaining your own business. Not here at Margin.
WHO WE HELP
Built for your sector.
We don't try to be everything to everyone. We have a laser focus on limited company clients in the UK digital & creative industries at launch or scale.
01
Freelancer
The copywriter, the developer, the strategist. Day rates, IR35, limited company setup. You power the agencies we work with and you deserve an accountant who gets your world too.
02
Creative Studio
Branding, design, video, photography, content. The creative world has its own financial quirks. We know how studios are structured, how projects are priced and where tax opportunities sit.
03
Digital Agency
B2B, marketing, PR, SEO, paid media. If you sell expertise and time to other businesses, we understand your model. Retainers, project fees, team costs. We’ve see it all before.

BEYOND THE PACKAGES
They say fast-growth accounting will cost the
earth. We say it's time
they knew the truth.
For agencies punching through £1m, you’ll need more. But a full-time internal finance team is expensive, inflexible and hard to manage. myVFO gives you the best of both worlds.
myVFO
Starting from £975 /monthly* you get:
- Experienced Financial Controller
- Weekly / Daily Updates
- Sales Invoicing & Credit Control
- Supplier & Payroll Payments
- Management Reports
Choose to ADD-ON from:
- KPI & Project Tracking
- Fractional vFD
- Regular Meet-Ups
- Budgets & Forecasts
- Year End Accounts & Tax
* Pricing varies for size of business e.g turnover and according to number of employees, transaction volumes, financial controller requirements and complexities. One-off work e.g R&D claims are quoted on a per project basis.
WHY MARGIN
Different by design.
We built Margin because freelancers and agency founders deserve better than a generalist accountant that asks AI what B2B is.
01
We know your world
Media, B2B, retainers, IR35, scope creep, director dividends. We speak agency, so have built our firm around them.
02
100% online
No office visits. No posting paper receipts. No jargon. We’re as agile as you are, so everything happens in real-time.
03
Fixed fees, always
You’ll never get a surprise invoice from us. Every package is a fixed pay monthly fee always agreed up-front.
04
Proactive, not reactive
We don’t wait for you to ask. We flag opportunities, flag risks and stay one step ahead – working with and for, you.
Who said that?
