Payroll for marketing agencies

Avos closes payroll for marketing agencies with hybrid teams: salaried staff get income tax, social contributions, vacation and bonuses calculated automatically for their country, and contractors are registered and paid through the same platform. Set up creative, media, content and account management as departments, and cost-per-department reports show what each squad costs, including salary, employer charges and benefits.

Payroll for marketing agencies, solved

A salaried core team, contracted specialists and freelancers per project, often in different countries. An agency's people operation is hybrid by nature, and its payroll has to keep up.

Employees, contractors and freelancers in the same operation

A salaried designer, a contracted media buyer, a freelance copywriter in another country. Each model has different charges, documents and payment methods, and controlling that across three spreadsheets is a recipe for delays and noise with the team.

In Avos, salaried staff have their payroll calculated automatically (income tax, social contributions, vacation, bonuses) under their country's rules, and contractors are registered and paid through the same platform. One view of what the whole team costs.

How much does each squad cost?

The agency sells hours and delivers projects, but rarely knows the real cost of each team. Without it, the retainer price is a guess and the margin is a surprise.

Organize the agency into departments (creative, media, content, account management) and use cost-per-department reports, salary, employer charges and benefits included, to price contracts on the real cost of each squad.

You are the HR department

In a small or mid-sized agency, whoever closes payroll is the founder or a one-person finance team. Every hour spent on payslips and vacation maths is an hour not spent on clients.

Payroll closes with automatic calculation, payslips go out by email on their own and the team checks vacation and history in the employee portal. Benefits enter the calculation without side maths.

Frequently asked questions

Can I see how much each squad or area costs per month?

Yes. Structure the teams as departments and the cost-per-department reports show each one's salaries, employer charges and benefits, the number you need to price retainers and projects.

How does paying contractors work?

Contractors are registered on the same platform, with documented payments and a complete history, kept separate from salaried employees. You see the total cost of the team without mixing the engagement types.

My team is remote and spread across countries. Does that change anything?

No. Avos is fully web-based and multi-country: each person is paid under their country's rules and in their currency, the team accesses payslips and data through the employee portal from anywhere, and you close payroll wherever you are.
