Creative agencies run on retainer cash — retentions ring-fenced at month-end, ad-spend-out vs invoice-in, scope-creep without prompt payment. When one client is on Net-30 terms you’ve already fronted the production cost. Paidly chases all of it so you can keep the studio billing instead of chasing.
5–10% against final delivery, ring-fenced at month-end and easy to forget. Paidly chases the long tail past the contractual release date — politely, persistently, on your letterhead.
Paid media and production costs go out long before the client invoice clears. Paidly tightens the gap so the float doesn’t come out of payroll and the next month’s retainer isn’t already spent.
Extra rounds get billed late while the client happily pays the original scope. Paidly flags the extras, follows up on the variation note, and keeps the over-work paid for before the invoice ages.
Work delivered, retainer raised, ‘next quarter’ promised. Paidly escalates the polite-to-firm follow-up on Net-30, Net-45 and Net-60 terms so the retainer doesn’t quietly slip to the SP&L line.
