We know chasing invoices isn't why you got into this.
Project-based income, late-paying clients, and irregular cashflow: we've seen it all, and we know how to make it work for you.
01
Your income arrives in bursts, not a steady stream
One month you're fully booked, the next it's quiet. Without a clear view of what's coming in and when, it's hard to know if you're actually ahead or just busy.
02
Clients pay on their schedule, not yours
Invoices go out on delivery, but payment can take weeks; sometimes months. That gap between finishing the work and getting paid for it is where cashflow problems start.
03
You're covering costs long before the money lands
Venues, materials, freelancers, suppliers: most of it's paid upfront, out of your pocket, before a client has settled a single invoice.
04
Not every project that looks successful actually paid off
Between materials, contractor fees, and time spent, it's easy to finish a big project and still not know if it made you any money.
How we support you
Built around how creative work actually happens.
DAY TO DAY
Bookkeeping & VAT
We handle the day-to-day reconciliation and keep your VAT right, project by project, so nothing's left to sort out at year end.
CASHFLOW
Irregular Income Planning
We build cashflow forecasts around your bookings and projects, so you always know what's coming in and when: even when income isn't steady.
CHASING
Invoice & Payment Chasing Support
Late-paying clients are a fact of life in this industry. We help you stay on top of who owes what, so chasing invoices doesn't fall entirely on you.
PLANNING
Project Costing & Budgeting
We help you track spend against each project; materials, freelancers, venues, so you know which jobs are actually profitable.
ADVICE
Consultancy & Problem Solving
Not sure if a project actually made money? We dig into the detail and help you make the right call next time.
PARTNERSHIP
Virtual Finance Partner
For creatives and event professionals who want someone consistently in their corner, not just at year end. We become part of how the business runs.
Finance that works as hard as you do.
We're not a service you plug in and forget. We show up, we listen, we ask the questions others don't: and we treat your business like it's personal. Because to you, it is.
"I was told early on in business that if you can find someone who truly understands cash management, you should keep them close by! That has paid dividends, with Ancora looking after our financials, we have been able to focus on our core business and importantly increasing the time available to spend with our customers.
