Retainer billing, media buying pass-through accounting, and campaign cost allocation for agencies. Nexus gives agency finance teams the P&L structure they need — gross revenue, net revenue, and contribution margin by client.
Media bought on behalf of clients creates pass-through revenue and cost that must be tracked separately from agency fee revenue. Markup calculations, volume rebates, and agency commissions all need careful accounting treatment.
Retainer agreements with deliverable milestones require ASC 606 analysis at contract inception. Variable monthly activity levels create timing differences between cash received and revenue recognized.
Agencies rely heavily on freelancers and specialist contractors. Tracking project-level costs against client budgets — and ensuring clients are billed correctly for approved costs — requires project accounting discipline.
