The client

Launch Agency is a well-established, well-respected advertising agency based in Dallas, operating as a multi-partner firm.

Business context

As a mature, multi-partner agency, Launch Agency's partners needed financial guidance at the partner level, not just bookkeeping, along with fully compliant tax filings for both the agency and each individual partner.

Business challenge

Launch Agency's partners needed more than a bookkeeper keeping the ledger current; they needed a financial partner who could guide decisions at the partner level and keep both the agency and each partner's personal tax obligations fully compliant and on schedule, with no surprises and no last-minute scrambles at deadline. Without that level of partnership, the agency risked recurring year-end stress, missed deadlines, or partners making decisions without a clear, shared financial picture.

ChurchillTerry approach

ChurchillTerry delivered ongoing financial management and guidance to the partners and the in-house bookkeeper, meeting monthly to review financial results and support key business decisions. CT managed tax compliance for both the agency entity and each individual partner, filing every return on time, every year, with no extensions, removing a recurring source of year-end stress and giving the partners a reliable partner-level financial relationship.
