Don’t just take my word for it...
Martyn is down-to-earth, approachable, easy to work with and so organised. He makes my life so much easier and I feel secure having him on board. He responds to every email I send within hours, he keeps on top of all our finances, and our monthly calls ensure I am keeping up! He tries to help as much as he can, often suggesting ideas beyond the basic accounting he provides and has also been a great source of referrals to others who help with alternative financial support. I couldn’t recommend working with him enough!
Laura WestCEO of Springbird
Moving to Agency CFO was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made! The level of support and knowledge of our sector has literally been the difference between success and failure at times, equipping up with the tools we need to make the right decisions. Within the first month of working together, Agency CFO’s guidance on R&D alone drove an ROI of 1500%, so I’d have no hesitation in recommending their service to anyone!
Mark CampManaging Director at Propello Cloud
Working with Martyn for the last year has been great and hugely successful. He has given us insight and advice that has made some real positive impacts on the business.
Neil MarraFounder of Creative Spark
It is difficult to overstate the impact AgencyCFO has had. For the first time we have absolute clarity on all aspects of agency performance. We have accurate, relevant, and useful management accounts, delivered on time every month. In Martyn, we have access to someone with extensive knowledge and experience in the agency space, and any question or concern we have, chances are he has seen it and solved it before. It also helps that he is simply a lovely person to work with. Best decision we ever made.
Clair HeavisideCo-Founder & Creative Director at Serotonin
Martyn is a dream, a very safe pair of hands, reliable & honest. We're blessed to have him on our team!
Olivia HobbsFounder of Blackstar Agency
We moved to Agency CFO following a recommendation and it's one of the best decisions we have ever made. As a young company, growth and clarity of data and information are really important to us to help us reach our next milestone. Martyn is not only regarded as a key member of our team by providing the hands-on financial and accounting support we need, but he also provides additional advice and guidance in a number of other business areas. We can't wait to see where this journey takes us, and would highly recommend it to any business looking to grow.
Drshna VaraCEO at EQ
Martyn provides an invaluable service to Pixel8. He is always there for us and we are confident that we have the right partner to support the team on our growth journey.
Jamie WatsonManaging Partner at Pixel8
We found the one. After struggling to find the right fit for our accountant for a number of years, Martyn came highly recommended to us and it’s one of the best business decisions we have made to partner with him. Specialising in our sector, his knowledge has been fundamental, and he offers so much more than just being our accountant. We feel like he’s an integral member of the team and trusted advisor.
Jonny KermodeManaging Director of Fifth House
Martyn has been a god send to our business. We did have an accountant before him, but Martyn has shown us the difference a thorough accountant can make. I am not exaggerating when I say I am sleeping better because I know my businesses’ finances are in order and predictable. He has steered us through a tricky year, saved us money, and been proactive. His industry knowledge is a real advantage too. I would highly recommend him to any agency owners who want to have a strong grip on their finances and save money.
Hannah WeinholdCommercial Director of GrowTraffic
In starting an agency, finances were always going to be the most important thing to master, so I needed someone I could trust to help me with something completely new to me. Martyn has been great in both managing the finances, but also in proactively suggesting improvements that have had a big impact on the business already. Would highly recommend him to anyone.
Phil LeatherFounder of Good n' Proper
Having been severely let down by accountants before, it's refreshing to have Martyn and Agency CFO on the team. You get more than just someone who can make sense of spreadsheets — pro-active and engaged, Martyn cares about more than just the numbers and keeps us honest across all of our operations. He's also a great bloke — an accountant that isn't boring... fancy that!
James GreenwoodJoint Managing Director of Strawberry
Martyn has been the accountant for my company since its conception 5 years ago. His insight and advice have helped us navigate our way through both the highs and lows of running a small growing business with big ambitions. He has been patient when we ask a multitude of questions, set up all the processes that we need a CFO to manage and helped prepare us for all eventualities.
Matt StanleyCo-Founder of Think Digital Partners Ltd
It's great working with Martyn, the fact he focuses purely on Agencies means he has a much greater understanding of the challenges and issues we face in comparison with an accountant who deals with lots of different business types. This makes it feel like in addition to being there for account questions he also adds value through his industry knowledge and experience working with other agencies who have faced the same challenges. In addition Martyn is super responsive, it really helps knowing you are going to get a fast response to any questions you may have.
Andy HillFounder of Distribute Digital
Since day one Martyn has been instrumental in our management set up. In terms of value for money - absolutely second to none, without a doubt our most highly valued service provision. Always keen to help out, he's an invaluable asset to our business and we really consider him to be an extension of our team. Incredibly trustworthy, reliable and easy to approach and work with. I would recommend him to any business owner who doesn't have a clue what they're doing when it comes to accounts like me and Dan.
Dean TranterCo-Founder of Offended
As an organisation who launched during COVID, Agency CFO’s advice, insight and connections have been invaluable in supporting us to get off the ground, build and scale. Martyn is always on the end of the phone and has seen it all before, working both at an organisational and individual level to proactively bring issues and solutions to us before we even realise there’s a problem! We wouldn’t be where we are today without Agency CFO’s support.
Chris HowarthPartner at Three Plus Consulting
Honestly we've had a number of generic accountants over the years but none that have truly understood our business and sector as much as Martyn. His knowledge and proactive attitude is exactly what we've been looking for and we feel more on top of our numbers than ever. He's implemented new systems for tracking receipts, forecasting and using technology to streamline workflows to make everyone's lives easier.
Cal ThomsonOwner of Dead Pixe
After months of frustration and setbacks with two separate accountants - costing us an enormous amount of time, money, and sanity - we were fortunate to find Martyn. From the moment he stepped in, he was a game changer. In just one week, he accomplished what our previous accountants had failed to do in three months.
Martyn is not only incredibly knowledgeable and efficient but also personable, trustworthy, and proactive. His forward thinking approach ensures that we are always prepared rather than reactive, giving us the confidence to focus on growing our business while knowing our finances are in the best hands.
His deep understanding of our sector and the way we operate means he isn’t just an accountant, he’s a strategic partner in our success. We have no doubt that Martyn will be a key asset in the continued growth of our business for years to come.
If you are looking for an accountant who truly adds value, look no further than Martyn!
