Is this you?
If most of this sounds familiar, we should talk.
- Your agency is bringing in seven figures a year.
- You set out for more freedom, but you’re reinvesting every last dollar instead of paying yourself.
- You feel like you’re flying blind, even with a CPA and accounting software.
- You often make decisions emotionally, not based on data or numbers.
- Your agency has grown, but you can’t tell if your offers are profitable, your team is bloated, your pricing is too low, or you’re paying everyone too much.
- Scale profitably, in alignment with your mission and values.
- Pay yourself a steady salary, and even a bonus.
- Grow your team in a mindful, strategic way.
- Have someone hold you accountable and provide sound strategy.
- See your finances in a way that makes sense to you, and kick emotional decision-making to the curb with reporting tools.
- Get clear on your niche client and your offerings.
- Build systems that make team management and project execution easier.
You built the agency, you still make the big calls, and you want to understand your numbers yourself. Ideally, you’re the one in the room, not a COO.
Our work is built around a founder-led agency. If a bigger team of decision-makers is steering finances, we’re not the best fit.
Sound like you? Start with a conversation with Meredith Fennessy Witts, and we’ll point you to the right step.

FAQs. tl,dr.
-
Le Chéile specializes in creative agencies, studios, and service-based businesses because their financial models are nuanced.
Pricing, retainers, project work, and team structure all behave differently than in other industries — and we build strategy around that.
-
We’re likely not the best fit for ongoing work if you’re still in the early stages or revenue below ~$500K.
At that point, simpler financial systems and foundational support are often more appropriate yet our Blueprint and sprints are generally aligned.
If that is you, listen to Meredith’s podcast, Agency Darlings or reach out for a Profit Diagnostic. We have a toolbox here that can help, too.
-
Bookkeeping tells you what happened.
We focus on what to do next.
While clean financials are foundational, our work centers on helping you make better decisions around pricing, hiring, and growth — using your numbers as a tool, not just a report.
-
While every business is different, our work typically leads to:
clearer visibility into profitability
improved margins
more confident decision-making
a business that feels more sustainable to run
93% of our clients double their profit margins within six months.
-
Most clients start with the Growth Blueprint — a deep dive into your financials and business model — and then continue into an ongoing CFO partnership for implementation and support.
This ensures we’re not just identifying opportunities, but actually helping you execute on them.
-
Glad you asked! Here is a quick tool walkthrough. We also have several DIY visual tools we’ve crafted specifically for creatives.
-
This is the most common question we hear.
In most cases, it comes down to a combination of:
pricing that hasn’t kept up with delivery
team costs that have grown without clear structure
a revenue mix that isn’t optimized for profitability
We help you unpack exactly where this is happening — and how to fix it.
-
No.
Part of our process is helping you get clarity on your numbers — whether that means cleaning things up or building a stronger foundation.
You don’t need to have it all figured out before starting.
We have a full bookkeeping team that can clean up your books as we get started.
