How this agency makes money

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

Revenue trendgross margin per financial year

Latest year: € 1,63 mln gross margin, growth +32,5% against a sector median of +3,1%.

Healthy margin

Revenue per headGross margin per FTE, against payroll cost

€ 98.077

Median (2025) € 77.398

Against a payroll cost of € 73.281 per FTE. The ratio between the two is the coverage rate above.

Above the median

Yield levelYield per hour worked, against payroll cost

€ 57

Median (2025) € 48

28.569 hours worked, 1.721 per FTE. Against that sits € 43 of payroll cost per hour worked, leaving € 14 for premises, equipment, depreciation and profit.

Above 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: 4,6 months (median 5,3 mo). Equity in the latest year: € 470.546.

Adequate buffer

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

Cash € 307.914. Liquidity ratio 1,92: current assets cover short-term debt in full. Solvency 45,6%.

Amply covered

Payment behaviourTowards suppliers and towards the NBB

Trade payables correspond to 10 days of supplier credit, sector median 46. The accounts were filed 103 days after closing; the legal deadline is seven months.

Signals in the last 24 months

Zichtbaarheid verschoven · 1 Nov 2026 · Google Autocomplete
Late filing · 20 Aug 2025 · 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.
Two consecutive loss-making years · 31 Dec 2024 · NBB
Two financial years in a row closed at a loss. That can be an investment period, or a client that fell away. Ask what explains the pattern and what has changed since.

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

Outgrew the sector median 2 years running
EBITDA margin above the sector median (25,0%)
Value-added per euro of payroll above the sector median (1,33)
Margin per hour worked rose 2 years in a row
Healthy working capital (current ratio 1,92)
Equity was earned, not injected (reserves 57,8× the capital contributed)
Comfortable cash position: 92 days of payroll

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 13/04/2026. 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.

Exits are clearly above what is usual for this type of agency. That may reflect project-based staffing, but it is a reason to ask in the pitch how much of the proposed team was already here two years ago, and to contractually fix your permanent contacts.
