014 Ryan Watson: Must-Know Aspects of Agency Finances

Agency Forward

Hey everyone, today I’m joined by Ryan Watson.

Ryan is a partner at Upsourced, providing outsourced accounting, financial strategy, and M&A advisory services for creative agencies.

I’d previously heard Ryan on a lot of podcasts and knew he’s a man of the numbers. So I was excited to get him on a episode to talk about the financials behind running an agency.

And like of most of these conversations go, we ended up covering so much more.

In this episode, we discuss:

• How the Hierarchy of Financial Needs can focus your efforts
• Why you should pay attention to the Lifecycle of Agencies
• How project profitability is changing
• and more…

You can learn more about Ryan at UpsourcedAccounting.com and LinkedIn.
