How this agency makes money

Revenue, margin and what an hour of work brings in. Everything on the earning side sits together here.

Yield levelYield per hour worked, against payroll cost

€ 50

Median (2025) € 48

30.805 hours worked, 1.656 per FTE. Against that sits € 41 of payroll cost per hour worked, leaving € 9 for premises, equipment, depreciation and profit.

Around the median

No hourly rate follows from this. Gross margin is already net of services and sundry goods, which mixes rebilled production with the agency's own overhead, and the accounts do not say how many hours were billable. Deriving a rate from this systematically understates it.

Can the agency take a hit

Buffer, cash position and payment behaviour side by side, so you can see where they disagree.

Bufferequity in months of payroll

Buffer: 5,6 months (median 5,3 mo). Equity in the latest year: € 586.486.

Adequate buffer

Cash positionAvailable cash, and whether it covers short-term debt

Late filing · 24 Aug 2026 · NBB
The annual accounts were filed after the statutory deadline. Over a third of the sector does this, usually because of the accountant's calendar. Rarely a story in itself.

Click a signal for a plain-language explanation. Each signal is a fact from a public source, without the agency's own context. Best to ask them directly.

What this agency does well

Gross margin grew 3 years in a row
Outgrew the sector median 3 years running
Profitable in every one of the last 4 years
Team grew (+32,9% FTE in the latest year)
Healthy working capital (current ratio 2,17)
Equity was earned, not injected (reserves 8,4× the capital contributed)
Turnover below the median (10,8%)

Each point is a fact from the filed annual accounts, measured against the same thresholds and sector medians as the signals above.

What this factsheet does not know

How good the work is. Figures do not measure creativity, strategy or chemistry.
How the client portfolio is spread. Concentration is not in the accounts.
Freelancers and subcontractors are not in the FTE figures. An agency with 40 staff may in practice run with 70 people.
The figures cover financial year 2025, filed on 24/08/2026. At a fast-moving agency reality today may differ.

Seniors or juniors?

Payroll cost per FTE is the best public proxy for a team's experience level. Higher is not automatically better, but it says something about who sits at the table.

Read with care. Directors and partners invoicing through a management company are not in the payroll cost. At small agencies this skews the picture downwards considerably.

Will your team stay?

Inflow and outflow from the social report. This series only counts people on the payroll: freelancers who invoice do not appear in it. A low figure therefore means two very different things, a stable permanent team or a small core with heavy outsourcing. A high figure usually points to short contracts. Compare only within the same type of agency.
