In the ever-evolving world of advertising agencies, leveraging the right financial management tool is critical. Mother, a pioneering independent agency known for its innovative approach, saw the need for change in 2019. They sought a financial management system to address their growing accounting needs and provide valuable business insights.
We are delighted to share this Q&A, with Mother’s CFO, Rollo Price, as we discuss how the Accountability system has become a cornerstone of their operations across the UK, US, China and Germany.
Rollo Price serves as the Global CFO at Mother, overseeing the global finance team. He also plays a key role in managing agency operations alongside the global and local leadership teams.
We are immensely proud of our ongoing partnership with Mother, which started in 2019 and has fostered continuous advancements and ingenuity in our systems.
In this article, we explore Mother’s transition from their former system to adopting Accountability, a move that has transformed their financial and operational strategies. We look at their selection and integration experiences, the significant advantages post-implementation, and the continuous evolution of our partnership. Discover how Mother’s move to Accountability has helped support their business.
Starting Out: Picking the Right Finance System
Accountability: What were the primary challenges Mother faced in accounting and financial management before working with Accountability, and what was the decision-making process that led to selecting our solution?
Mother’s previous system wasn’t fit for purpose as the agency evolved. We needed a system that was not only a reliable accounting tool but also a rich business information resource, with deep knowledge of our industry.
Mother appointed an external independent consultant to conduct our search for a new Finance/ERP system. We met with over ten different companies at the initial stage, then narrowed it down to two. Accountability emerged as the leading choice among our stakeholders in Mother’s UK and US operations, and we’ve since expanded into other markets.
Accountability:Migrating to a new system can be daunting. Can you describe the experience of incorporating Accountability into your existing workflows and systems?
Whilst I wasn’t part of the day-to-day integration, I checked in weekly on the process. Accountability provided us with a dedicated project manager in each region, and senior management at Accountability remained involved throughout the process. The transition was smooth and consistent, globally for us.
Accountability:What were the first significant changes you noticed in your financial management processes after implementation?
The quality of data and reporting vastly improved. The accuracy, presentation, and timeliness were all key advantages that we noticed very quickly.
Accountability:Were there any surprises?
Obviously, there are always a few curve balls throughout the process, but generally, there were no real unwanted surprises. A positive surprise was the open APIs which exist within the Accountability system and the team’s willingness to help connect us to our incumbent systems.
The more accurate the business information, the tighter our commercial processes. While numerous factors positively affect our client margins, Accountability has definitely been a key contributor.
Stronger Together: Our partnership
Our customers are instrumental in evolving our platform and Mother is no exception. Can you share an example of a feature(s) or process that was developed in response to your feedback and how it’s impacted your Agency?
We had a historic timesheet system which was built by our internal team. Whilst this was adequate, it was by no means perfect. We were able to work with the Accountability team to implement their timesheet system with a desired lockout feature linked to our Outlook email environment.
How would you describe the ongoing feedback loop with our team?
We maintain a robust dialogue with the Accountability team. We have dedicated individuals within our business whom we can contact for any issues, ensuring continuous support.
What were some of the significant pain points that having Accountability helped you overcome?
Relevant, timely, and reliable business information is crucial, and that is precisely what we’re now receiving, paired with a solid accounting system that operates seamlessly in the background.
Our solution is designed to be comprehensive. How have the features for pricing, revenue, and resource tracking specifically boosted your agency’s productivity and efficiency?
We can now more accurately delve into these areas, possessing client-by-client data which can be easily updated and maintained.
Client and job profitability tracking is crucial. Has this feature influenced your business strategy and client margins?
The more accurate the business information, the tighter our commercial processes. While numerous factors positively affect our client margins, Accountability has definitely been a key contributor.
A Look Around: What’s Happening in Our Industry
As co-chair of the IPA’s Finance Business Group, since 2018, what are the recurring themes and challenges agencies are grappling with?
The advertising industry has been through a volatile period. The industry, clients, and agencies must continuously adapt to advances in technology, consumer trends, geopolitical uncertainties, and numerous other challenges. However, this environment also presents opportunities for companies to demonstrate their true value, as we do at Mother.
The development influenced by Mother’s feedback has benefitted all our customers. How do you view your role as an industry leader in shaping industry-standard solutions?
If we all become more commercially aware, it will benefit the entire industry. I am keen for everyone to understand the capabilities of systems like Accountability. The key is more relevant, reliable, and readily available information, which Accountability provides.

Looking Ahead
Looking forward, what are your aspirations for our continued partnership?
We truly feel that we’ve found the right system and partner for our business moving forward. We hope and expect the system to continue innovating as Mother’s business grows.
What counsel would you offer to other agencies contemplating Financial Management ERP solutions?
It’s worth spending some time assessing your wish list for the system. I believe we spent about a year on this. Then, prioritise and compare your needs with the systems you’re considering.
In your view, how does a cloud-based, agency-specific real-time financial management system like ours help revolutionise the agency landscape?
At its core it is a reliable finance system, which is crucial for data validity. Real-time information allows us to always look forward, making the review of historical data more of an administrative task and enabling strategic decision-making.
Finally, if you could summarise your journey with Accountability in two sentences, what would you say?
It’s been a very positive journey. There’s always room for progress, but we feel we’ve found the right partner to accompany us on this journey.

In the spirit of unity and cultural celebration, our team at Accountability recently hosted a memorable event to honor AAPI Heritage Month. This vibrant celebration took place at Kalye NYC, where we gathered with friends and partners from Wieden+Kennedy, Crossmedia, and Excel Sports Management. The highlight of the evening was an authentic and spirited “boodle fight,” a traditional Filipino feast that encapsulates the essence of community and shared joy.
AAPI Heritage Month: A Time for Reflection and Celebration
AAPI Heritage Month is a special time to recognize and appreciate the rich cultural contributions of Asian American and Pacific Islander communities. It’s a month dedicated to celebrating the diverse traditions, histories, and achievements that have significantly shaped our society. At Accountability, we believe in the power of diversity and the importance of fostering an inclusive environment that celebrates all cultures.
The Boodle Fight Experience
The term “boodle fight” might sound combative, but it’s anything but! Originating from the Filipino military, this communal feast involves a spread of delicious food laid out on banana leaves, with everyone eating together using their hands. It symbolizes camaraderie, equality, and the breaking down of barriers, making it a perfect metaphor for our celebration.
At Kalye NYC, the tables were adorned with an array of Filipino delicacies, including grilled meats, seafood, rice, and tropical fruits, all artfully arranged on banana leaves. The atmosphere was vibrant, filled with laughter and the sounds of lively conversations as colleagues and friends came together to enjoy the feast.
A Night of Cultural Exchange and Networking
The event wasn’t just about the food; it was an evening of cultural exchange and networking.

In an era where marketing and advertising agencies face rapidly evolving challenges and opportunities, relying on generic, one-size-fits-all solutions can hold your agency back. Specialized agency management platforms like Accountability are designed to address the unique needs of the industry, offering customized features that generic solutions simply cannot provide.
The Downfalls of Generic Solutions
Generic management platforms often target a wide range of industries, leading to a lack of depth in any single area. For agencies, this means:
Inadequate Configuration : Generic platforms may not offer the specific tools and workflows that are crucial for the unique project life cycles of marketing and advertising agencies.
Limited Scalability: As agencies grow and their needs become more complex, generic systems often struggle to keep up without costly upgrades or add-ons.
Poor Integration with Industry Tools: Marketing and advertising agencies use a variety of specialized tools that may not integrate seamlessly with generic platforms, leading to inefficiencies and data silos.
The Advantages of Specialized Platforms
Accountability, as a specialized agency management platform, provides:
Tailored Functionality: From media planning and buying to creative project management and client billing, everything is designed with the workflows of an agency in mind.

By embracing a specialized solution like Accountability, you empower your agency to operate more efficiently, adapt more quickly to industry changes, and provide superior service to your clients.
The role of the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) in marketing and advertising agencies has evolved beyond traditional financial oversight to become a cornerstone of strategic decision-making and growth. With the right tools, CFOs can transcend their conventional roles, leveraging data to drive business strategy and operational excellence. Accountability’s financial management platform is specifically designed to facilitate this transformation.
The Traditional Role of CFOs
Historically, CFOs in agencies were primarily seen as gatekeepers of financial data, focusing on budget management, compliance, and risk mitigation. While these responsibilities remain crucial, the rapidly changing business landscape demands more from today’s CFOs.
Transitioning to a Strategic Role
Accountability empowers CFOs to become strategic leaders by providing:
Real-Time Financial Insights: Immediate access to financial data across the agency enables CFOs to make informed decisions quickly, responding to market changes with agility.
Integrated Financial Operations: By centralizing all financial operations, from payroll to project billing, CFOs can gain a holistic view of the agency’s financial health, identifying opportunities for cost savings and investment.
Data-Driven Strategy Formulation: With advanced analytics and reporting, CFOs can forecast trends, prepare for market shifts, and guide the agency towards sustainable growth.
Impact on Agency Growth
The strategic input of a CFO can significantly influence an agency’s trajectory. With Accountability, CFOs can:
Drive Efficiency: Optimize resource allocation and reduce waste by analyzing real-time financial data.
Enhance Profitability: Identify profitable projects and clients, and adjust operational strategies to maximize returns.
Foster Innovation: By freeing up resources from mundane financial tasks, CFOs can allocate more towards innovation and creative pursuits, driving the agency’s competitive edge.
Implementing a Strategic Financial Framework
With Accountability, implementing a strategic financial management framework is straightforward. The platform’s intuitive design and customizable features allow CFOs to quickly adapt to the specific needs of their agency, ensuring that financial management complements rather than constrains business growth.
Many marketing and advertising agencies initially turn to generic ERP systems seeking a comprehensive solution for financial and project management. However, these systems often come with hidden costs that can impact an agency’s budget and operational efficiency. Understanding these hidden costs is crucial for agencies looking to make informed decisions about their management software.
The True Cost of Generic ERP Solutions
While generic ERP systems promise a one-stop solution, they often fail to deliver without significant additional investments:
Customization Expenses: Generic ERPs are not tailored for the specific needs of agencies, leading to substantial costs in customizing the system to fit unique business processes.
Integration Challenges: Integrating with industry-specific tools often requires additional plugins or custom development, which can be expensive and time-consuming.
Training and Adoption: Due to their complexity, generic ERPs typically require extensive training. The broad functionality, much of which may be irrelevant to agencies, can hinder quick adoption and lead to prolonged productivity loss.
Operational Inefficiencies
Beyond financial implications, the operational inefficiencies of generic ERPs can also be costly:
Delayed Decision-Making: Without real-time, industry-specific data, decision-making can be slower and less informed, potentially costing agencies valuable opportunities.
Reduced Flexibility: Generic systems may not easily adapt to the dynamic nature of agency projects, leading to inefficiencies and bottlenecks.
Why Accountability is Different
Accountability is designed specifically for marketing and advertising agencies, offering a tailored solution that mitigates the hidden costs associated with generic ERPs:
Industry-Specific Features: From the ground up, Accountability is built with the needs of agencies in mind, reducing the need for costly customizations.
Seamless Integrations: Designed to integrate effortlessly with common agency tools, reducing the need and cost for additional software modifications.
User-Friendly Design: With a focus on usability, Accountability reduces training time and helps new users become productive more quickly.
Making the Switch to a Specialized Solution
Transitioning to a specialized platform like Accountability not only saves costs but also enhances operational efficiency, making it a smart investment for agencies looking to optimize their financial and project management processes.
In the rapidly evolving world of marketing and advertising, agencies must continuously adapt to changing market conditions and client needs. Generic management systems often lag behind, unable to cater to industry-specific demands or integrate new technologies quickly. Future-proofing your agency requires a robust, flexible platform that not only meets current needs but also adapts to future changes. Accountability offers just that—a future-proof solution tailored for marketing and advertising agencies.
The Need for Future-Proofing
As digital transformation accelerates, agencies face challenges such as integrating new media channels, adopting emerging marketing technologies, and complying with evolving data privacy regulations. A future-proof platform helps agencies:
Stay Agile: Quickly adapt processes and integrate new tools and channels without disruptive overhauls.
Scale Efficiently: Support growth without the need for costly upgrades or reconfigurations.
Ensure Compliance: Automatically update systems to comply with new regulations, protecting against legal and financial risks.

Choosing an industry-specific platform like Accountability means you’re not just keeping up with the industry—you’re staying ahead. It enables your agency to respond to future challenges with agility and confidence, turning potential disruptions into opportunities for growth.
In the competitive landscape of marketing and advertising, agencies must not only deliver exceptional creative work but also demonstrate clear, quantifiable value to their clients. Maximizing client profitability is crucial, and it requires more than just creative prowess—it demands deep financial insights tailored to each client’s specific needs. Accountability provides these insights through its specialized financial management platform, enabling agencies to enhance profitability and client satisfaction.
The Importance of Financial Insights in Client Relationships
Agencies face the dual challenge of managing their own profitability while also proving their worth to clients. This balancing act can be complex, especially when handling multiple clients with varying demands:
Cost Management: Understanding the real-time costs associated with each client project allows agencies to make informed decisions that protect margin.
Revenue Optimization: Identifying which services yield the highest profit margins helps agencies focus their efforts and resources more effectively.
Client Reporting: Providing clients with detailed, understandable financial reports strengthens trust and fosters transparency.

Accountability empowers marketing and advertising firms to not just manage but maximize client profitability, leading to greater client satisfaction and retention.
