Stop losing margins to scattered agency ops

Belvak replaces the patchwork of project management, invoicing, proposal, and recruiting tools that marketing agencies cobble together. One platform for campaigns, clients, and cash flow.

The problem

Sound familiar?

Marketing agencies face unique operational challenges that generic project management tools were never designed to solve.

Scope creep silently destroys margins

Around 40% of agencies exceed budgets from scope creep. "Just one more revision" compounds across clients. Retainers become unlimited service agreements. The bleed is invisible until end-of-quarter financials.

Eight tools and still no clear picture

CRM, PM tool, time tracker, invoicing app, proposal software, spreadsheets. Average agency spends $500-2,000/month on disconnected tools while still relying on spreadsheets to connect the dots.

No real-time view of client profitability

Revenue data in the invoicing tool, costs in the PM tool, scope in the proposal doc. Connecting them requires manual spreadsheet work. By the time you discover a client is unprofitable, months of margin loss are already absorbed.

Billing leakage from disconnected pipelines

Proposal in PandaDoc, project in Asana, invoices in QuickBooks. Data re-entered at each stage. Approved amounts never flow to invoicing automatically. Work done but never billed is a top agency revenue drain.

FAQ

Questions marketing agencies ask

Can Belvak handle both retainers and one-off campaign projects?

Yes. Every engagement is a project with its own contract value, so a monthly retainer and a one-off campaign build sit side by side. Recurring retainers bill on a schedule while project work bills as it is delivered, all tracked against the same client record.

How does recurring retainer billing work?

Retainers run as maintenance contracts that bill per period, and Belvak surfaces each contract for renewal within a 15-day window before it lapses. You approve recurring invoices in bulk, generate branded PDFs from 12 templates, and track payments and overdue balances without leaving the platform.

Can I see which clients are actually profitable?

Each client record links every project, invoice, and payment in one view, so you can see contract values, what has been collected, and what is still outstanding per client. That makes it clear which accounts drift past their contract value and which are pulling their weight.

How do proposals become projects?

You draft a proposal with scope, deliverables, and pricing, send it to the client, and convert an approved proposal into a live project with one click. The values carry over, so there is no re-entering the same numbers across separate tools.

Can I recruit creative talent in the same platform?

Yes. Belvak includes built-in recruitment, so you build candidate records and track them alongside your projects. Uploaded CVs are parsed automatically to extract 9 fields, and skill search helps you shortlist the right designer or copywriter faster.

Can I bill clients in multiple currencies?

Yes. Belvak supports billing in over 50 currencies, so agencies working with clients across regions can invoice each one in its own currency. The currency is stored per record, keeping reporting consistent.
