You can’t improve what you can’t clearly see…

GYDA FORUM

This isn’t a conference. No stages. No speakers. No audience.

Want clarity before making your next move?

50 agencies. Four rooms.
Shared data, shared insight.

Openly compare performance: growth rates, margins, pricing models, utilisation, team composition, and strategic focus.

The goal isn’t competition - it’s context. You’ll leave knowing what “good” actually looks like right now, where you’re ahead, and where you’re exposed.

Their team goes beyond traditional reporting, turning financial data into clear, actionable insight that helps leaders make smarter decisions, forecast growth, and improve performance. By connecting finance with day-to-day operations, it becomes a true driver of strategy - not just a support function.

INTRODUCING MAP

Accountants and Outsourced Finance Function for the Digital Sector.

As an Agency develops into an established and mature business, it has more complex requirements for its finance function.

At a functional level, it has to collect significant cash from its clients, pay suppliers on time, and make payroll.

At a strategic level, it needs to have a clear financial roadmap, detailed budgeting and reliable and insightful reporting.

MAP supports over 200 UK digital agencies by providing a mature and cost-effective end-to-end finance function to drive the agency's growth.

With everything from bookkeeping and traditional accounting to strategic finance director services, your agency will have access to the resources it needs, just when it needs them.
