Accounting for Agencies and Professional Services Firms in Bangalore — How it works with CorporateWalla®
Agencies lose money on projects they think are profitable, because the cost of delivery is buried in a single salary line and nobody allocates it.
Bangalore (Bengaluru) is the startup capital of India — the highest concentration of tech entrepreneurs, funded startups, and SaaS companies. ROC Karnataka (Bangalore bench) handles all Pvt Ltd / LLP / Section 8 incorporation for the state. Karnataka stamp duty on share capital is the highest among the southern states, but Bangalore property rates and valuation are in high demand because of the startup + NRI investment climate. Many "company registration Bangalore" queries come from NRI founders (US, UK, Singapore) who want a startup in India.

Step-by-step Agency Accounting process
- 1
Set the revenue rules
Retainers recognised as delivered, milestones as met, and a documented position on whether pass-through costs run through revenue or as a recovery.
- 2
Close with WIP
Delivered but unbilled work carried as an asset, so revenue and receivables are not understated by the work you have not invoiced yet.
- 3
Allocate delivery cost
Costs pushed down to projects and clients, which is the only way to find out which of them actually earn.
- 4
Review the margins
Utilisation, project margin and client margin reviewed together, because the three answers only make sense side by side.

Why choose CorporateWalla® for Agency Accounting in Bangalore?
Retainers are a liability first
Billed monthly in advance, recognised as delivered. An unused retainer balance is money you owe work against, not revenue you have earned.
WIP counted as an asset
Delivered but unbilled work belongs on the balance sheet. Agencies that ignore it understate both revenue and receivables, then wonder why the numbers feel wrong.
Pass-through costs decided deliberately
Whether media spend, print, contractor and travel run through revenue or as a recovery changes your reported turnover materially, and it changes your GST position. It should be a decision, not a default.
You find out which clients pay
Delivery cost allocated to projects and clients. Most agencies never do this and are genuinely surprised by the answer.
Utilisation, the metric that decides it
Billable versus non-billable time is what determines whether a services business works at all. We report it monthly rather than annually.
Section 194J credits reconciled
Your clients deduct TDS on professional fees. It appears in Form 26AS and must tie to your books, or the mismatch surfaces as a notice.

Frequently asked questions — Agency Accounting in Bangalore
Q: How should retainers be recognised?
A: As the service is delivered, not when billed. An unused retainer balance is a liability.
Q: What is WIP for an agency?
A: Work delivered but not yet invoiced. It is an asset, and leaving it out understates both revenue and receivables.
Q: Should media spend run through my revenue?
