Juggling multiple client portals fragments your focus on strategy and ideation
Month-end invoice rushes for multi-client retainers pull senior creatives away from high-value client pitches and RFP responses
Error-prone data entry from campaign performance trackers like Google Analytics risks client trust, leading to disputes over billable hours in consulting engagements

AIQ automates from task assignment to QuickBooks export, achieving zero errors in our last three billing cycles. Those saved hours went to client brainstorming sessions, lifting billable utilization from 65% to 82% and securing a major RFP win."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this integrate with our existing marketing tools?
We specialize in deep, two-way integrations with platforms like HubSpot, Asana, and Google Workspace, which are staples for marketing agencies. During discovery, we map your workflows—say, pulling campaign expenses from project trackers directly into invoice drafts. Our custom APIs ensure data flows bidirectionally without manual exports, reducing errors by 95%. Unlike generic tools, this is built to handle the nuances of variable billing, like performance-based fees, and scales as your client base grows. Implementation typically takes 4-6 weeks, with minimal disruption to ongoing campaigns.
What kind of time savings can we expect as a mid-sized agency?
Marketing agencies often lose 15-25 hours weekly to manual invoicing, per industry benchmarks from firms like Deloitte. Our AI automation captures this by automating data entry, approvals, and reconciliations—delivering 80-90% time reduction. For a 50-person agency, that's equivalent to freeing one full-time equivalent for client work, boosting billable hours and ROI. We've seen clients achieve payback in 3-4 months through faster cash cycles and fewer disputes. It's not just speed; it's reallocating talent to high-value tasks like strategy, where agencies excel.
Is this solution secure for handling client financial data?
Security is paramount in professional services, especially with client campaign budgets. We use enterprise-grade encryption (AES-256) and comply with SOC 2 standards, ensuring all invoice data— from ad spends to retainer details—is protected. Access controls are role-based, so creatives see only approvals, while finance gets full audits. Our systems include anomaly detection to flag unusual patterns, like duplicate charges. Unlike cloud-based assemblers, our custom builds run on your secure infrastructure, minimizing third-party risks. Agencies we've partnered with report zero breaches in over two years of operation.
Can it handle variable pricing common in marketing services?
Absolutely—variable scopes, like adjusting for extra social media iterations or media buys, are a core challenge we address. The AI learns from your historical data to auto-adjust invoices based on milestones in tools like Trello or Jira. It cross-references against contracts for caps and bonuses, ensuring accuracy without manual tweaks. Benchmarks show 99% match rates, reducing underbilling that plagues 30% of agencies. We customize rules during setup, so it fits your exact model, whether hourly, retainer, or performance-based, delivering precise, defensible billing every time.
What's the difference between your custom build and off-the-shelf invoice software?
Off-the-shelf tools like FreshBooks are great for basics but falter on agency-specific needs, like integrating campaign trackers or handling multi-client approvals—they often require workarounds that add time. Our custom AI is engineered for your workflows, eliminating subscription sprawl and creating a owned asset. No brittle Zapier links; we use robust code for scalability, with 40% fewer errors in variable billing scenarios. Clients own the system outright, avoiding ongoing fees that eat into margins. It's like upgrading from a rented van to a custom-built truck tailored for your agency's load.
How do we get started and what does implementation look like?
We begin with a free 30-minute consultation to review your pain points, like post-campaign billing delays. Then, our team conducts a 1-2 week audit of your processes, involving key stakeholders for buy-in. Development follows in agile sprints—prototyping integrations first, then full testing with sample invoices. Deployment includes hands-on training and a 30-day optimization period to tweak based on real use. Total timeline: 6-8 weeks for most agencies. Post-launch, we provide ongoing support to ensure it evolves with your business, maximizing that 300% ROI potential.
